</p>
<meta property="mw:PageProp/toc">
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>
<p>DSL was originally conceived and maintained by John Andrews. For five years the community included Robert Shingledecker who created the MyDSL system, DSL Control Panel and other features. After issues with the main developers, Shingledecker was, by his account, exiled from the project.<sup id="cite_ref-distrowatch-interview_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-distrowatch-interview-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He currently continues his work on <a href="Tiny_Core_Linux" title="Tiny Core Linux">Tiny Core Linux</a> which he created in April 2008.
</p><p>DSL was originally based on Model-K, a 22 MB stripped-down version of <a href="Knoppix" title="Knoppix">Knoppix</a>, but soon after was based on Knoppix proper, allowing much easier <a href="Software_remastering" title="Software remastering">remastering</a> and improvements. The distribution is now based on <a href="Debian" title="Debian">Debian</a> and <a href="AntiX" title="AntiX">antiX</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Original_DSL">Original DSL</h3></div>
<p>Originally, DSL supported machines with as little as a <a href="Intel_80486" class="mw-redirect" title="Intel 80486">486</a> <a href="Microprocessor" title="Microprocessor">microprocessor</a> and 8 <a href="Megabyte" title="Megabyte">megabytes</a> (MB) of <a href="Random-access_memory" title="Random-access memory">random-access memory</a> (RAM). The live CD itself was only 50 MB in size.
What originally began as an experiment to see how much software could fit in 50 MB eventually became a full Linux distribution. It could be installed on <a href="Storage_media" class="mw-redirect" title="Storage media">storage media</a> with small capacities, like <a href="Bootable_business_card" title="Bootable business card">bootable business cards</a>, <a href="USB_flash_drive" title="USB flash drive">USB flash drives</a>, various <a href="Memory_card" title="Memory card">memory cards</a>, and <a href="Zip_drive" title="Zip drive">Zip drives</a>.
</p><p>This version of DSL was last developed in 2012, with its last stable release in 2008.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Modern_DSL">Modern DSL</h3></div>
<p>In 2024, a release candidate for DSL was released, the first in twelve years. This newer version has rather higher system requirements, and a size limit of 700 MB, but still supports older <a href="32-bit" class="mw-redirect" title="32-bit">32-bit</a> systems. This version is based on <a href="AntiX" title="AntiX">antiX</a> rather than <a href="Knoppix" title="Knoppix">Knoppix</a>.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="System_requirements">System requirements</h2></div>
<p>DSL is designed to primarily support <a href="X86" title="X86">x86</a> PCs. The minimum system requirements for the older version were a <a href="Intel_80486" class="mw-redirect" title="Intel 80486">486</a> processor and 8 MB of <a href="Random-access_memory" title="Random-access memory">RAM</a>. DSL has been demonstrated by browsing the web with <a href="Dillo" title="Dillo">Dillo</a>, running simple games, and playing music on systems with a 486 processor and 16 MB of RAM. The system requirements are higher for running <a href="Firefox" title="Firefox">Mozilla Firefox</a> and optional add-ons such as the <a href="OpenOffice.org" title="OpenOffice.org">OpenOffice.org</a> office suite.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Features">Features</h2></div>
<p>Version 4.4.10 of DSL, released November 18, 2008, included the following software:

<p>DSL has built-in scripts to download and install <a href="Advanced_Packaging_Tool" class="mw-redirect" title="Advanced Packaging Tool">Advanced Packaging Tool</a> (APT). Once APT is enabled, a user can install packages from <a href="Debian" title="Debian">Debian</a>'s <a href="Software_repository" title="Software repository">repositories</a>. Also, DSL hosts software ranging from large applications like <a href="OpenOffice.org" title="OpenOffice.org">OpenOffice.org</a> and <a href="GNU_Compiler_Collection" title="GNU Compiler Collection">GNU Compiler Collection</a> (GCC), to smaller ones such as <a href="AMSN" title="AMSN">aMSN</a>, by means of the <i>MyDSL</i> system, which allows convenient one-click download and installing of software. Files hosted on MyDSL are called <i>extensions</i>. As of June 2008, the MyDSL servers were hosting over 900 applications, plugins, and other extensions.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Boot_options">Boot options</h2></div>
<p>Boot options are also called "cheat codes" in DSL. Automatic hardware detection may fail, or the user may want to use something other than the default settings (language, keyboard, VGA, fail-safe graphics, text mode...). DSL allows the user to enter one or more cheat codes at the boot prompt. If nothing is entered, DSL will boot with the default options. Cheat codes affect many auto-detection and hardware options. Many cheat codes also affect the GUI. The list of cheat codes can be seen at boot time and also at the DSL Wiki.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_MyDSL_system">The MyDSL system</h2></div>
<p>MyDSL is handled and maintained mostly by Robert Shingledecker and hosted by many organizations, such as <a href="Ibiblio" title="Ibiblio">ibiblio</a> and Belgium's BELNET. There are two areas of MyDSL: <i>regular</i> and <i>testing</i>. The <i>regular</i> area contains extensions that have been proven stable enough for everyday use and is broken down into different areas such as <i>apps</i>, <i>net</i>, <i>system</i>, and <i>uci</i> (Universal Compressed ISO - Extensions in .uci format are <a href="Mount_(computing)" title="Mount (computing)">mounted</a> as a separate <a href="File_system" title="File system">file system</a> to minimize RAM use). The <i>testing</i> area is for newly submitted extensions that theoretically work well enough but may have any number of <a href="Software_bug" title="Software bug">bugs</a>.
