Linux Gets Small: LNX-BBC and Damn Small Linux |
| Linux.com takes a look at two minimalist Linux distributions - LNX-BBC and Damn Small Linux: "These two BBCs are clearly meant for two different purposes. LNX-BBC is the power tool for experienced sysadmins involved in hardcore rescue operations, while Damn Small is a reasonably friendly miniature general purpose system. If I had a system that required serious network diagnosis or intrusion analysis, I would choose LNX-BBC because of its superb toolkit. If I had a system that needed simple edits to files or just an alternate operating environment, I'd probably go with Damn Smalll." The complete story.

| About LNX-BBC |
| The LNX-BBC is a miniature Linux-based GNU distribution, small enough to fit on a CD-ROM that has been cut, pressed, or molded to the size and shape of a business card. In 1999 Duncan MacKinnon, Tom Crimi, and Seth David Schoen started work on the project at Linuxcare. Linuxcare printed 10,000 copies of the "Linuxcare Bootable Business Card" to be distributed at the then-upcoming LinuxWorld Conference and Expo. The give-away mini CD-ROMs were a huge success and have generated steady praise and thanks for their rescue capabilities, attracting many other developers to the project. The BBC went through seven versions, five of which were pressed into business-card sized CD-ROMs and handed out at trade shows or distributed by mail to Linux User Groups around the world. |
