Running Damn Small Linux on Windows

No, that’s not a joke. Using the file dsl-embedded-0.8.3.zip from the DSL-project (Damn Small Linux) let’s you run Linux on your Windows box:

*

It’s running via qemu (QEMU CPU Emulator):

START qemu.exe -L . -m 128 -hda harddisk -cdrom dsl.iso -boot d -enable-audio -user-net -localtime

*

It’s not very fast (because of running in an emulation) and needs about 75MB of RAM but seems to work fine for giving it short try. See www.tuxs.org/dslwin.htm for more details.

    Cool, thanks for the link, I’ll try it out. Maybe I can use it as a small cygwin replacement ;)
