Here I talk about a Linux Distribution called Damn Small Linux which is under 50MB for the entire OS and all the apps included. You can run this in a Virtual Machine or download an “embedded” version (thanks to mag2ster for the heads up) .

How do i install it?
December 3rd, 2008 at 1:10 pm
yeah i have this on my pen drive and i dont use a virtual machine but i am still kinda confused..i cannot figure out to “save” what i have done. “save” as in the configuration settings i have made when i boot it up or things like that.

You can make the screen recorder follow the virtual machine by clicking your mouse where the guest Operating system is. Or of course mouse integration!

i’ve been using SliTaz and it’s not very customizable from what i’ve seen. They’re “claimed” Firefox… Den Echo or something. So I don’t really like it.

comment on his channel not here

yes, he is using it!

WHY use DSL?
Downsides:
50MB ISO file
UGLY!
Very few programs, none of which are really, user friendly
There is an alternative, called SliTaz
ISO on 25MB
Looks WAY better than DSL, like Ubuntu Clearlooks
MORE programs, also more commonly known, Abiword instead of Beaver etc.
A own repository
Faster
Desktop effects
And much more.
Try it out, post a video on it too
December 3rd, 2008 at 1:10 pm
ok well can you make a video of how to set it up like what site and how to download for xp?
December 3rd, 2008 at 1:10 pm
thats what i use
December 3rd, 2008 at 1:10 pm
does VirtualBox work with windows xp?
December 3rd, 2008 at 1:10 pm
the embedded runs windowed however you can change that with crtl+alt+f at least for me it works however don’t use it that way better get a virtual machine
December 3rd, 2008 at 1:10 pm
You can go to full-screen by pressing ctl-alt-F.
December 3rd, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Does the embedded run full-screen or windowed? I am interested in this because I want to try developing on linux
December 3rd, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Duncan, I got this on my Pen Drive but when I try and use it it keeps telling me to hit Ctrl + Alt but it won’t even let me try it =/

Nice! Wouldn’t you want to wait a few months for Atom to launch though?
