Had a geek nostalgia moment today.
Ended up looking at the site for Damnsmalllinux.
I was always so impressed with how much actual functionality was packed into those minimalist projects, and I still think their extension system was really clever.
Their extension directory still contains a few packages I created, under an old username.
Live CD distros like this, knoppix, dragonlinux and even microscopic tomsrtbt floppy were among my first tastes of Linux.
@RussSharek Hah, years ago I was interested in the Business Card Linux, a distros to our on a BC sized CD. You had 50MB if I remember correctly. I built a variant that removed some stuff and added Emacs instead. 🤓
