An interesting linux distro recently came to my attention. Damn Small Linux (or DSL for short) is a compact but quite full linux desktop…in 50MB! The package is geared towards running from a live cd or from a usb key but can also convert to a standard debian hard drive install. I was impressed by how quickly the live cd booted and also the fact it could boot my laptop (other live cd distros had trouble setting up video on it).
