The Official Damn Small Linux Book: The Tiny Adaptable Linux That Runs on Anything

This book offers dozens of ways to use this neat, efficient Linux system for making everything from custom desktop systems on a pen drive to fun projects, such as a stand-alone kiosk or digital picture frame. The book will appeal to a wide range of people: from those who just want to take their data on the road (along with the applications to work with it) to those who want to use DSL to develop hardware and software solutions. This book explores the possibilities DSL offers to end users, system integrators, and software developers. With DSL's powerful customization and remastering tools, anyone from a novice user to a computer guru can create a personalized DSL for themselves or their business. Novice readers will be able to do something immediately--boot up, save their own data, and add their own applications. Advanced users can go as far as they want, understanding the core of what DSL does so they can make highly-customized, remastered (rebuilt from the ground up) or ported (made to run on different hardware) versions of DSL.
