I remember some kilos ago that I was fascinated by this tiny Linux that could fit so many useful things into such a small space. So I thought I should go over to Distrowatch and have a look.....
And it is gone??!!
The distro that promised it would never be bigger than 50 MB is more or less gone.
DSL still has the homepage http://damnsmalllinux.org/ but it seems it is rather dead. Has it been swallowed by Puppy? What happened? I kind of liked it so I think it is worth a line or two...

Sorry, just saw this.

The whole site is there once again, and looks far from dead. I'm at http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ right now, and every single link there is working and seeming alive. If you notice on that page:
Deprecated pages:
Static archive of our old forums and tech questions,
our old blogs)

The store is still there and working, all kinds of things going on.

Damn Small Linux, Nov. 12, 2012 on Distrowatch (yes, the popularity has gone way down but then it never had a lot really in the first place; note the trend in popularity over the years). Damn Small Linux has been through a development/maintenance lapse for four years, and has just been picked up again, with the first development release since. For now, RC4.11, but if it is good, I'd kill to be able to test it; I may go blueflops instead, though (which is no longer maintained, but is also damn small).
