=== Original DSL ===
Originally, DSL supported machines with as little as ana [[Intel 80486|486]] [[microprocessor]] and 8 [[megabyte]]s (MB) of [[random-access memory]] (RAM). The live CD itself was only 50 MB in size.
What originally began as an experiment to see how much software could fit in 50 MB eventually became a full Linux distribution. It could be installed on [[storage media]] with small capacities, like [[bootable business card]]s, [[USB flash drive]]s, various [[memory card]]s, and [[Zip drive]]s.
