I've been using DSL since it was the 50-meg version of itself. It's always worked like a charm, especially on really old PC's. It may be too "bare bones" for some people but it works.

Speaking of nostalgia, Scott, do you remember when Fedora/RedHat came on three 1.44 MB floppy disks?

I Do!! Back in the day I found an old PC with Windows 98 still on it and it had a floppy drive that I just HAD to use for something..

Just getting it to read the disks was a chore LoL.
