Damn Small Linux是个很小的LiveCD可启动光盘(50M左右~)，可以装到U盘上，由Linux发行。尽管它的个头如此之小，Damn Small Linux的桌面几乎是完整的一套。

包括xmms(支持mp3和mpeg)、FTP客户端、基于links的web浏览器、电子制表软件、电子邮件程序、英语拼写检查、字处理器、三个编辑器(nedit、nvi及类似emacs的zile)、xpdf阅读器、worker文件管理器、naim(支持 AIM、ICQ和IRC)、VNCviewer、SSH/SCP服务器和客户端、DHCP客户端、PPP及PPPoE、web服务器、计算器、 Fluxbox窗口管理器、系统监视软件、USB支持，并且它很快就将拥有PCMCIA支持。如果你喜欢Damn Small Linux，你可以安装到你的硬盘上。由于所有的软件都是小巧型的，所以它对老旧的硬件会是一个很好的选择。

DSL was originally developed as an experiment to see how many usable desktop applications can fit inside a 50MB live CD. It was at first just a personal tool/toy. But over time Damn Small Linux grew into a community project with hundreds of development hours put into refinements including a fully automated remote and local application installation system and a very versatile backup and restore system which may be used with any writable media including a hard drive, a floppy drive, or a USB device.

DSL has a nearly complete desktop, and many command line tools. All applications are chosen with the best balance of functionality, size and speed. Damn Small also has the ability to act as an SSH/FTP/HTTPD server right off of a live CD. In our quest to save space and have a fully functional desktop we've made many GUI administration tools which are fast yet still easy to use. What does DSL have?

XMMS (MP3, CD Music, and MPEG), FTP client, Dillo web browser, Netrik web browser, FireFox, spreadsheet, Sylpheed email, spellcheck (US English), a word-processor (Ted), three editors (Beaver, Vim, and Nano [Pico clone]), graphics editing and viewing (Xpaint, and xzgv), Xpdf (PDF Viewer), emelFM (file manager), Naim (AIM, ICQ, IRC), VNCviwer, Rdesktop, SSH/SCP server and client, DHCP client, PPP, PPPoE (ADSL), a web server, calculator, generic and GhostScript printer support, NFS, Fluxbox and JWM window managers, games, system monitoring apps, a host of command line tools, USB support, and pcmcia support, some wireless support.

Damn Small is small enough and smart enough to do the following things:
Boot from a business card CD as a live linux distribution (LiveCD)
Boot from a USB pen drive
Boot from within a host operating system (that's right, it can run *inside* Windows)
Run very nicely from an IDE Compact Flash drive via a method we call "frugal install"
Transform into a Debian OS with a traditional hard drive install
Run light enough to power a 486DX with 16MB of Ram
Run fully in RAM with as little as 128MB (you will be amazed at how fast your computer can be!)
Modularly grow -- DSL is highly extendable without the need to customize
