    Linux Forums has an article for the newbies wanting to know more about Ubuntu, SLED, Linspire and DSL.

    note: Why it includes DSL, I don't know, but it goes fairly deep compared to a lot of crappy "why not use linux" articles out there. I suppose it is one of the best options for really old hardware.

    Enjoy,
    Ken

    Yeah, that's a good artical.

    [ot]I can't stand DSL and Fluxbox. I don't understand why DSL has created such a buzz either. Other then system recovery, what else is it good for? Nothing. Got an old computer? Install Ubuntu or Mandriva with WindowMaker :) [/ot]

    It can run on a system without a hard drive. If that is important to the user, then it is useful. It is made to be compact, fast and scalable. I don't personally have a need for it, but I commend DSL for being different.
