Running Damn Small Linux in Ubuntu

Submitted by LFT on 2006, December 20 - 10:23pm. |

I recently followed some instructions for putting Damn Small Linux on a thumb drive and was suprised to find that the latest version easily boots inside of Windows and Linux as well as directly from the thumb drive.

Here are some screenshots of Damn Small Linux running inside of Ubuntu Linux. Notice the window borders:

Second boot screen, DSL in QEMU

Damn Small Linux desktop, running smoothly

It runs a bit slowly because the computer is running two operating systems at the same time, but it's a fun experiment.

I got Damn Small Linux running under UBUNTU, using VirtualBox and I must say: it goes like a missile! though I only have 512Mb of RAM and 1.5GHz. for screenshots see my flickr page and for a review see my blog
