1233630 2011-09-26 06:10:00 I'd take Puppy over DSL any day. baabits (15242)
1233631 2011-09-26 06:33:00 Damn Small LinuxThis isn't such a good choice - DSL is somewhat out of date, and the most recent release is over three years old. Puppy is a much better bet. Erayd (23)
1233632 2011-09-26 06:47:00 But it doesn't like so little RAM.

Tiny Core is the new project by the guy behind Damn Small, I think?

1233633 2011-09-26 08:17:00 But it doesn't like so little RAM.No reason you can't cram it happily into that unless you're wanting to run a fully-featured modern DE.

The big RAM-sucker is always going to be the web browser; there's unfortunately not much you can do about that.
