We don’t cover a lot of software here at Street Tech, but we like to respond to people’s enthusiasm and we got a very enthused email from our pal Alberto about Damn Small Linux, a Linux distro which is, well, damn small. How small? Small enough to fit (and boot from) a thumb drive, small enough to fit on a business card (one of those CD business cards, of course). And it’s smart enough to be bootable from WITHIN Windows. Hell, it can even run from a Compact Flash drive or fully within RAM! It also grows modularly, so it’s highly customizable/expandable. I’m planning on putting it on my wristwatch, just for fun.
