i have to admint i havent use either alot, but from what i did use them for, damnsmall was better. this is off their website:
What does it have? Damn Small Linux has a nearly complete desktop, including XMMS (MP3, and MPEG), FTP client, Dillo web browser, links-hacked web browser, spreadsheet, Sylpheed email, spellcheck (US English), a word-processor, three editors (Nedit, nVi, Zile [emacs clone]), graphics editing and viewing (Xpaint, and xzgv), Xpdf, emelFM (file manager), Naim (AIM, ICQ, IRC), VNCviwer, Rdesktop, SSH/SCP server and client, DHCP client, PPP, PPPoE (ADSL), a web server, calculator, generic printer support, NFS, Fluxbox window manager, games, system monitoring apps, a host of command line tools, USB support, and pcmcia support. For more information check out the applications pages. i ran into a problem with lnx-bbc off the downloaded version i had. when i ran the dhcpcd eth0 command, it gave a seg fault. however, lnx-bbc did load on a PC that damnsmall locked during boot. it seemed to me that dmnsmall had more gui tools, which it what i wanted. ----- Original Message ----- From: "D.
