Did Linus Jump Too Soon?
Submitted by srlinuxx on Saturday 31st of January 2009 06:52:03 PM Filed under

Damn Small Linux - Puppy's small brother
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wednesday 28th of January 2009 11:47:15 PM Filed under
dedoimedo.com: I guess I'm biased, but I have a soft spot when it comes to small-size distros. I like it when developers have the craftsmanship to bundle lots of great stuff into small, highly practical packages, proving that size matters not.
