Is there a modern variant of dsl still around?
Wondering if there is a version of dsl still floating around out there that is fairly up to date?
If not, why does this forum exist? DSL is dead isn't it? |
There hasn't been an update to DSL in quite awhile, but I can't say that surprises me much. DSL is not designed as a daily-use distribution, it is designed to be as small and fast as possible.
By a more "modern" version of DSL, I am assuming you mean something easier to use and flashier, which is only going against the idea of being lightweight; and certainly won't fit in ~50MB. |
Puppy seems to be the smallest one that tries to stay up to date and I think they have gone over the 50 meg. I saw one on distrowatch the other day that said was 10 meg with a web browser but did not have time to check it out.

Tiny Core Linux is a worthy successor to DSL:
http://www.tinycorelinux.com/ While they are not direct descendants of DSL, Puppy and SliTaz both have their charms. |
I think OP means "support more equipment and work with newer kernel" as "up to date" in his question.
In these terms, DSL is no longer supported. I think developer has given the idea up. Larry, did you mean 100Mb for Puppy? |
I have not had time to check on it but I thought I had read something around 65 or 85 meg and that may have been 1 or 2 releases ago. If I get time this afternoon I will check on it.
