The DSL wiki justifies the decision to use 2.4 here: <a href="http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Will_DSL_ever_use_the_2.6_kernel.3F_Has_it_even_been_considered.3F">http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Will_DSL_ever_use_the_2.6_kernel.3F_Has_it_even_been_considered.3F </a> I do not know enough to know if their reasoning is correct, but it sounds convincing. > > Puppy has very good reviews, although I wasn't able to get it running on my > 486. Could well be my error, not a fault of puppy or the computer. I have used Puppy off a live CD on about six different machines, with no problems. All were PIIs or better though.
