Damn Small Linux

Damn Small Linux started as an exercise by John Andrews to fit an entire desktop computer system into a compressed 50 MB image and is basically a trimmed version of an early Knoppix build, making it perfect for smaller drives.

Within a few years, Damn Small Linux grew to one of the most popular Linus systems in the world without growing beyond that 50 MB target. Damn Small Linux is a computer system for the x 86 family of personal computers. It is free and open source software under the terms of GNU GPL and other free and open sources licenses.

Damn Small Linux can be installed to and run from the hard-disk, a USB-key, a Compact-Flash card, inside a Microsoft Windows or Linux host environment via Qemu or just about any other bootable media that can contain the required 50 MB.

Damn Small Linux sets out to include all the basic features needed in a modern desktop computer system – and then makes those features functional, fast and efficient.
