Damn Small Linux Rises From the Dead With a 4.11 RC1 Release

An anonymous reader writes "Damn Small Linux is back from the dead, with a version 4.11 RC1 release announcement at Distrowatch and another at the DSL Forums! Quoting: 'Here is the first release candidate for Damn Small Linux (DSL) 4.11. The changes in this release are a step toward making DSL a friendly alternative for older hardware. I've fixed some bugs, updated some applications, and replaced others. Applications: updated JWM to 2.1.0 (now supports rounding); updated Dillo to 3.0.2 (much improves CSS support); added XChat 1.8.9; added sic 1.1 IRC client; added XCalc-color. Modified desktop functionality: it is now possible to switch between JWM and Fluxbox without shutting down X; added menu items to switch between DFM and xtdesk icon engines or use none at all." Here's the download page."

    "laser radiation beam" may sound cool, but it's also redundant.

    Who said anything about APK? Are you APK? Why do you talk about yourself in third person? Do you have multiple personalities? If you do, how do you know you didn't post that comment?

    I think that was the point. De-acronymizing the OP, one obtains:

    The Damn Small Linux Linux compact disk disk is read by a light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation radiation beam.
