great distro
Guys i Play around with alot of distros I have 6 test machines and companys ask me [they pay me too] to test differant distros to see what will work with their gear .Well a small company in New york which has 7 sales reps with older laptops dell latitudes pentium 2 with 266mhz cps and 128 mb ram I was having trouble getting a full featured linux on them . I decided to install dsl 9.3 what a shock it worked great I had netgear 411 wireless cards with prism driver no problem , I used the installer to add alot od programs and my customer was happy no more virus' no popups so great job dsl there is a good sized market for the distro and I for 1 will recomend it again.

I agree! DS is a great distro! I've had some similar great experiences, as well.

It's great for older PC's, true, but I think a more full-featured distro would do good on new computers. I see your point, however.

Yea DSL is great. I don't use it as a hard drive install though.
New computers need more features? Maybe you mean KDE or Gnome? From my experience fluxbox or openbox are much more efficient to do work on.. |
DSL is up to version 1.0rc2 as of this writing! See the DSL main site here for further info on this.
