The final release of Damn Small Linux 4.3 was announced by Rober Shingledecker. Damn Small Linux is a very small distribution that can boot from a USB stick, business card CD or within a host operating system. It is designed to run even on older computers, such as a 486DX with only 16MB of RAM.

Firefox was updated to the 2.x branch, so you will have a faster and more secure web browser. The murgaLua development platform is now version 0.6.8, that currently integrates LuaTask and comes with a lot of improvements and bugfixes, mostly related to FLTK. The fresh mydslBrowser came to consolidate its older version, transforming it into a more powerful tool.

When you want to relax, you can play the new picture puzzle that was added in the Games collection. In case you feel you're done with the relaxing part, you can calculate your debts - if you have any - with the new calculator.lua which replaces calcoo.

Both JWM and Fluxbox window managers sport new background and theme, and the 'noicons' boot option to suppress icons in JWM was improved.

￭ Updated nano-tiny to v2.0.7.
