From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This reminded me of my old friend DSL, had to check up on it. Didn't realize they re-released it!

No longer at the 50MB size, but still 700MB would be great for a small OS on this odd piece of older hardware.
oh wow. they updated it!
There is Tiny Core Linux if you want something small like the original DSL.
It's 2025, the EFF and certbot exists, but no https? Interesting.
Any who, thanks. I'll check it out, but I'm a little bit turned off by the above.
I didn't see any way if posting data, so I guess there's not really a reason for them to use ssl. Their forum is using ssl at least.
Incredibly simple, free, and quick thing to add for user confidence. Doesn't sit well with me they can't be bothered, what else does that attitude apply to in the OS?
Oh DSL, I remember asking other kids in middle school how they knew Angelina Jolie had Damn Small Linux as an OS. Learned a lot that day.
