Damn Small Linux

I've talked about a Linux live CD which you can use to boot your computer to use the OS whenever. Now there is an even smaller distro called DSL (Damn Small Linux).

It's really small. At just under 50Mb you can put it on a USB pen drive and boot it up from there if your newish BIOS allows you to change the boot sequence to USB first. It can also be installed on the HDD, as well as on a bootable live CD. Your choice.

BTW, Knoppix has a new release that is more powerful and fills a live-DVD.
