A very small Linux

Linux in 50 MB? Click here.
The Damn Small Linux mantra is small is beautiful. Weighing in at about 50MB, Damn Small Linux (DSL) is a fully functional, mini-live CD desktop operating system. Despite its size, DSL can do just about everything you would expect from a modern desktop system, such as browse the web, send and receive email, write documents, manage files, play music, work with spread sheets, and manipulate images.
As a NoVa student, you can read the entire book that this quote comes from for free using the library's Safari books subscription.

Hello Ms. Fitton,

This is Dat waving hello from University of Houston (hope that you still remember me). I was checking your blog time to time. I just want to say that I am now a proud convert to Ubuntu Linux.

I have to say that your introduction to Linux has been of great importance to me. I got hooked :) . Thanks to it, I landed a job on campus doing Linux sysadmin. Knowing Linux is extremely important, especially when I am now doing some distributing processing of huge datasets. ^_^

Thank you :)
