i just saw on distrowatch that there's a new version of Deli Linux out. .....<br><br>"Henry Jensen has announced the release of <a href="http://distrowatch.com/deli">DeLi</a> Linux 0.8.0, a light-weight desktop distribution designed for computers with as little as 32 MB of RAM: "<span class="Quote">DeLi
Linux 0.8.0 is the next big step and the first release of the 0.8.x
branch. The main focus of the 0.8.x series will be
internationalisation. The biggest changes are: switched to UTF-8 as the
default encoding; dropped GTK+ 1.x, switched to GTK+ 2.x (2.10);
switched to the 'pacman' package manager (from Arch Linux); Netsurf or
Skipstone as web browsers; AbiWord 2.4.6 with ODT plugin and Gnumeric
1.6.3; Linux kernel <a href="http://2.4.36.4">2.4.36.4</a>, now with LSI Logic support (important for
VMware guests). Unfortunately, the hardware requirements had to be
raised: for running the GUI at least 32 MB of RAM are recommended; a
MMX capable processor is recommended for multimedia applications; a
full installation with all applications requires about 750 MB space on
hard disk.</span>" Here is the full <a href="http://www.delilinux.org/wiki/doku.php?id=announcement:generalnews:releases:deli-0.8.0">release announcement</a>.

<br><br>traitors! traitors to the cause of being LIGHT! it's in your very name... what's this sudden bloat to double spec requirements. thnx alot for selling out my old hardware i thought u guys were there with the remit to save it. what... am i supposed to just dump my old hardware if my dissatisfaction with my previous deli persists intolerably? ...actually its not my old hardware, i got it kinda specifically for putting a light linux on it.<br>
<br>can anyone make any suggestions as to an out of the ISO solution for my p133 16mb laptop? Deli was the only thing that would boot before, but now i hear their test machine has gone up to 32mb, i suspect my wee machine will suffer for it. what other super light distributions are out there?<br>
<br>i was going to try pud seeing that it has a tiling window manager out of the box, but it was screaming out for 64mb or something.<br><br>any suggestions?<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>The Universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice. The language is not Narn, or Human, or Centauri, or Gaim or Minbari. It speaks in the language of hope; It speaks in the language of trust; It speaks in the language of strength, and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always, it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors, speaking through us, And the voice of our inheritors, waiting to be born. It is the small, still voice that says: We are one. No matter the blood; skin; world; star; We are one. No matter the pain; darkness; loss; fear; We are one. Here, gathered together in common cause. we agree to recognise this singular truth, and this singular rule: That we must be kind to one another, because each voice enriches us and ennobles us, and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the Universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light the way to a better future. We are one.
