Hi
I'm new to linux and DSL is the first linux I can actually use, so I' like to coment you:

- for new users it is very good because it runs without any user intervention or configuration.(it might be good for advanced users but they are to tell that :D)
- runs in very old computers (i used a p2 ibm laptop with a live cd)
- it has several applications so one can take a firs look to linux without crashing all arround
- It gives you the chance to try command lines, ssh and stiff like that without problems.
- it can run within windows!

I tried of course to use some other distros before, but I didn't want to stop using my mac or my regular pc, so I started testing in this old lap. Therefore the only distros I could only use were puppy linux and dsl, but i liked the last one better.

Have a good day!

I use DSL on a 166MHz P1 MMX laptop installed on the hard-drive. Works great! I enabled everything, making it pretty much a full debian install, and it still runs quicker than windows 2000 on this old machine. I now use this laptop daily for regular internet, office, and photo viewing tasks. I like that I can choose either fluxbox or JWM for the windows manager and have fell in love with fluxbox.
