DamnSmallLinux was first !!!


DSL has only a 50Mb footprint. Check them out as they appear to have been first for USB installs.
Well done to Mandriva for also pushing this forward !!!
Just think - '3rd world' countries, few laptops/pc's, lots of students, $50 USB stick and available for a full free o/s and applications, students own personal 'pc', a 'green' way of computing ondemand, etc. etc. what a great way to trounce Negropontes $100 laptop?? and it works and is available now! Time to get out of the techies who love Linux and are up their own backsides and see how it can smash the Wintel duopoly even more.Think of the possibilities people for all of us out there....
