For extra excitement this time, you'll need cairo from cvs, or the snapshot available here: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/platform/2.11/2.11.90/

This is less than ideal, but at least it allows us to test GNOME tarballs that require it. Cairo 0.6.0 is expected very soon.

Linux 3275 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Damn Small Linux 1.3 has been released:

DSL is a very versatile 50MB mini desktop oriented Linux distribution.

Damn Small is small enough and smart enough to do the following things:
- Boot from a business card CD as a live linux distribution (LiveCD)
- Boot from a USB pen drive
- Boot from within a host operating system (that's right, it can run *inside* Windows)
- Run very nicely from an IDE Compact Flash drive via a method we call "frugal install"
- Transform into a Debian OS with a traditional hard drive install
- Run light enough to power a 486DX with 16MB of Ram
- Run fully in RAM with as little as 128MB (you will be amazed at how fast your computer can be!)
- Modularly grow -- DSL is highly extendable without the need to customize
