Damn Small Linux sneaks up on v3.0 (DesktopLinux)

I'm looking forward to trying-out this distro. I've got a Compaq 4/75cxl ($16 on eBay), with a 600MB hard drive, 1.44MB floppy, (no CD), 8MB RAM (hard-wired), with a 24MB RAM module on the way. I need to buy a new NiMH battery ($$$), but the interesting thing is that this baby's got a built-in 110-to-12V power supply, so I can always plug it into an available wall-socket.

It's got a slot for typeII/III pcmcia cards, so perhaps there's a LAN (or WiFi) card out there, waiting to arrive at my address...

This could be a winner.
