User Feedback :: Distrowatch

Barney Matthews, the writer who has offered several
"test-drive" reviews of small linux distros has a new
piece on Distrowatch about "Slax" a 185 MB mini-LiveCD distro.

In writing about the adv/disadvantages of running from a liveCD format,
his point being you were "stuck" with the apps on the LiveCD,
It was nice to see him mention DamnSmallLinux as a distro
that has the ability to "add" packages to itself..

I'm enjoying the fact that DSL is making a difference..

I think I'll email him and let him know how well it runs from a USBkey..
I've been testing DSL with a new 512MB pendrive,
and it is truly awesome to boot, load, run, AND have the entire repository
+ mp3's, other personal files, etc.. run SO SMOOTHLY from USB..
Nice work, roberts...
