A Boy Named Damn

At first, I liked DSL Linux, which is but a 50 MB download, and runs in RAM. The name is uniquely crude, and accurate. it was fun for a bit, but then it trailed off, since it isn't meant to be a full-featured distribution. It ran well on old hardware, but had nowhere to run to. The framebuffer driver chewed up my video card, and spat out rainbow vomit, although I set XFree86 going nicely later.

I wish that it had shipped with Thunderbird for mail. I enjoyed fluxbox with icons, and the quick start-up time. After a while though, my tinkering thoughts took me to dead ends, and I wanted my regular Debian back. I also wanted a new computer. It may be possible to run Linux on anything, but you won't always enjoy the results.
