'''Damn Small Linux''' (commonly abbreviated '''DSL''') is a computer [[operating system]] for the [[x86 architecture|x86]] family of [[personal computer]]s. It is [[free and open source software]] under the terms of [[GNU GPL]] and other free and open source licenses. It was designed to run [[Graphical user interface|graphical applications]] on older PC [[Computer hardware|hardware]]—for example, machines with [[Intel 80486|486]]/early [[Pentium (brand)|Pentium]] [[Microprocessor|processors]] and very little [[Random access memory|memory]]. DSL is a [[Live CD]] with a size of 50 [[Megabyte|MB]]. What originally started as an experiment to see how much software could fit in 50 MB eventually became a full-fledged [[Linux]] distribution. It can 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.
