Damn Small Linux unexpectedly updated

The developers position Damn Small Linux as an operating system for old and very old computers (of course, the word “old” is relative here). The size of this OS is only 50 MB, and it can work quite quickly on low-power PCs, with a small amount of RAM, a weak processor, a small amount of memory on the hard disk. Damn Small Linux was quite popular (many of you probably use it still), but the updates haven't been released for four years. Of course, no one expected the project to suddenly come to life. And it happened, the developers have released an update this week, release candidate for DSL 4.11 .

The update fixes some annoying bugs in the work, removes some applications, updates the window manager, browser, and some other elements of the system. Despite the update, Damn Small Linux did not change its status; it was and is the OS for very old PCs. It can even work on a computer with an Intel 486 processor and 16 MB of RAM. On new PCs, Damn Small Linux (DSL) may not work, as it still uses the 2.4 kernel, and some new hardware configuration elements may not be supported.

Now this distribution may not become as popular as before. Indeed, over the past few years, such competitors as SliTaz , Tiny Core Linux , and Puppy Linux have appeared .
