Had a geek nostalgia moment today.

Ended up looking at the site for Damnsmalllinux.

I was always so impressed with how much actual functionality was packed into those minimalist projects, and I still think their extension system was really clever.

Their extension directory still contains a few packages I created, under an old username.

Live CD distros like this, knoppix, dragonlinux and even microscopic tomsrtbt floppy were among my first tastes of Linux.

Nice.

I think my first actual install, after playing with countless live CDs, zip disks and floppies was a stripped down Debian install.
