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.

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
