Download Iso File for Dsl Damn Small Linux download iso file for dsl Damn Small Linux. One of the smallest, ootable Live CD Linux operating systems in the whole wide world. Damn Small Linux (DSL) is a tiny operating system which borrows features from the Debian GNU/Linux and KNOPPIX distributions, the latter being based on Debian too. Distributed as a dual-arch Live CD that supports mainstream architectures. The project is distributed as a single Live CD ISO image of around 50MB in size, designed to support only the 32-bit instruction set architectures. It offers a minimal boot prompt in the style of Puppy Linux, from where users can only add particular boot parameters. Comes with two lightweight window managers. It uses both Fluxbox and JWM (Joe’s Window Manager) desktop environments, but it default to the latter when running directly from the Live CD. The system can be easily installed to a hard disk drive from the boot prompt. Key features include generic and GhostScript-based printer support, a web server, system monitoring applications, USB support, wireless support, PCMCIA support, several command-line tools, as well as support for NFS (Network File System). The JWM window manager is comprised of a system monitoring widget, a workspace switcher, a device manager, and a bottom panel for interacting with running applications. The main menu can be accessed by right clicking anywhere on the desktop. Includes a plethora of applications for a small distro. Default applications include the Dillo and Mozilla Firefox web browsers, Sylpheed email client, VNCviewer remote desktop client, XMMS music player, Xpdf PDF viewer, xZGV image viewer, Ted document viewer, Beaver text editor, axyFTP file transfer client, and mtPaint digital painting software. In addition, it comes with Siag spreadsheet editor, Microsoft Word viewer, PostScript viewer, ICQ and AIM instant messengers, as well as IRC client via Naim, FLwriter word processor, emelFM file manager, Rdesktop RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) client, SSH and SCP server and client, DHCP client, and a PPPoE (ADSL) client.

While I’m traveling, I use my laptop as a mobile test lab. To do anything of significance, I like to run two VMware ESXi 5 hosts, vCenter Server 5, a domain controller (both on x64 Windows Server 2008 R2) and for my recent study focus, a NetApp DataONTAP 8.1 simulator, all on VMware Workstation 8. All these things are great, but with “only” 8 GB RAM to pull from, my resources are limited and I’m pushing RAM utilization to the max before I even start running VMs, as you can see below. The only thing saving me is an Intel 320 Series SSD. What I’ve been looking for is a VM that would use as few resources as possible. I also wanted something I could clone and from which to create a template. I also wanted to be able to practice using PowerCLI against these VMs – nothing in particular, but perhaps start with a script to deploy a certain number of VMs from a template automatically. I haven’t gotten around to the PowerCLI part yet, but I have found an excellent start. It’s Damn Small Linux and I’ve created the smallest OVA I could. For the purposes of my test lab, the least possible RAM utilization was the most important feature I was looking for. Hard disk space consumed by the running VM wasn’t necessarily important, but while making the VM as small as possible, I decided not to include a swap partition. The installation uses about 123 MB thinly provisioned on a 128 MB .vmdk because SSD space is valuable. It also runs on 64 MB of RAM, using a fraction of that when idle and only bit more while executing a continuous ping. In this blog post, I’d like to walk through installing Damn Small Linux (DSL) 4.4.10 to hard disk and then creating an OVA. You can also download my OVA from here. This blog is hosted by WordPress and because WordPress only allows certain file types to be uploaded, the OVA is saved with a .doc file extension. Please rename the .doc to .ova before attempting to use it. Create a DSL Virtual Machine. I won’t walk you through creating the whole VM. Instead, I’ll hit the high points that are unique to DSL. As a note, I’m creating this inside ESXi 5. Feel free to keep the defaults for everything not mentioned here. 1. Choose a custom installation 2. Guest Operating System – choose “Other 2.4.x Linux (32-bit)” 3. Memory – 64 MB, was way too slow with only 32 MB 4. Create a 128 MB thin provisioned disk 5. Disk type must be IDE, not SCSI. In this example, I’m using the latest DSL build, 4.4.10. I didn’t test other builds. Boot the VM to this ISO. Close the web browser that opens automatically and left-click the desktop, choosing XShells > Root Access > Transparent. You’ll have to prepare the .vmdk to accept the OS install. To do this, you’ll use cfdisk and create an ext2 partition. At the prompt, type cfdisk /dev/hda. The system will see a clean disk. Type ‘y.’ Using the arrow keys, select ‘New.’ The system sees the 134 MB for some reason. This is fine, just hit enter. At the next screen, highlight ‘Bootable’ and you’ll see the flag entered above next to hda1. Highlight, ‘Type,’ and hit enter. Press enter at the next screen… …and type in 83, then enter. Highlight, ‘Write,’ then enter. Follow the prompts and type, ‘yes.’ That’s it. You’ve finished preparing the disk. Highlight, ‘Quit,’ and press enter. At the prompt, type, ‘reboot.’ Boot once more from the ISO. Once you’ve booted back into the DSL ISO, open another root shell and type, ‘dsl-hdinstall.’ The prompts are as follows: Enter the target partition: hda1 Do you wish to support multi-user logins: no Use journalized file system: no Continue: yes. Proceed to install a boot loader? Yes Use Grub or Lilo: Either is fine, I use Grub Reboot now: yes. After this last reboot, you’ll be prompted to set the root and normal user (dsl) passwords. Do this, then boot to the desktop. The VM sees RAM utilization as less than 17 MB and full, 128 MB disk usage. Not bad for a test VM. What I like to do with the DSL VM is start a continuous ping from a root shell while I perform vMotions and Storage vMotions. Of course, running inside VMware Workstation 8, the host-only network can deploy DHCP so your DSL VMs will automatically pull IP addresses. Creating an OVA or OVF from here is easy. Issue the ‘halt’ command to shut down your DSL VM. Make sure it’s powered down before continuing. Create an OVA. Highlight your DSL VM in the left hand pane. Choose File > Export > Export OVF Template… Fill out the appropriate information. Remember that an OVF file will export the .vmdk’s that make up the VM, along with descriptor files for deploying the OVF. I like the OVA format because it’s a single file to manage. You can see that our VM takes up about 57 MB as an OVA. An OVF is about the same, although you may want to zip up the OVF package for ease of portability. Conclusion. One thing that would make this VM more useful is getting VMware Tools installed. If anyone has a good walkthrough of that I’d love to see it. In the end, with six virtual machines running, Windows registers about an 80 MB increase in memory utilization compared to no VMs running inside ESXi. Looking at my disk performance with Resource Monitor inside my Windows 7 Ultimate host, my Active Time % is hovering above 50%. Again, this is on a solid-state drive. The only other application I’m running is Microsoft Word, but all systems still seem responsive. In fact, according to Resource Monitor, my Response Time is zero or one millisecond for every process and Disk Queue Length is averaging 0.50. Not too shabby. After several minutes of letting the system settle, Active Time is less than 20% and Disk Queue Length is less than 0.20 with response times staying the same. If I quit Microsoft Word, I’m sure I’d see an improvement. I used this ArsGeek article as a reference when installing DSL. And the other Scott Lowe’s (Twitter @otherScottLowe) article on Windows Resource Monitor was useful, too. Booting DSL (Damn Small Linux) from a Multi-boot USB Drive. If you are having trouble getting DSL (Damn Small Linux) to boot on a multi-boot USB with SYSLINUX, then this guide may help. After experiencing the same problem and seeing other online complaints about it, I decided to create this guide. This tutorial describes how to get DSL (Damn Small Linux) to boot from the boot partition of a working bootable USB flash drive currently using SYSLINUX as the boot loader.

  • Introduction to Linux
    Presentation to U3A - Linux Introduction 8 June 2019 – Terry Schuster - [email protected] What is Linux? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux https://www.iotforall.com/linux-operating-system-iot-devices/ In simple terms, Linux is an operating system which was developed to be a home-built version of UNIX, one of the first operating systems which could be run on different brands of mainframe computers with quite different types of hardware. Linux has developed to the extent that it is the leading operating system on servers and other big iron systems such as mainframe computers, and the only OS used on TOP500 supercomputers (since November 2017, having gradually eliminated all competitors). It is used by around 2.3 percent of desktop computers. The Chromebook, which runs the Linux kernel-based Chrome OS, dominates the US K–12 education market. In the mid 2000’s, Linux was quickly seen as a good building block for smartphones, as it provided an out- of-the-box modern, full-featured Operating System with very good device driver support, and that was considered both scalable for the new generation of devices and had the added benefit of being royalty free. It is now becoming very common in IoT devices, such as smart watches/refrigerators, home controllers, etc. etc. BTW, Tux is a penguin character and the official brand character of the Linux kernel. Originally created as an entry to a Linux logo competition, Tux is the most commonly used icon for Linux, although different Linux distributions depict Tux in various styles. The character is used in many other Linux programs and as a general symbol of Linux.

  • Aligning Intent and Behavior in Software Systems: How Programs Communicate & Their Distribution and Organization
    © 2020 William B. Dietz ALIGNING INTENT AND BEHAVIOR IN SOFTWARE SYSTEMS: HOW PROGRAMS COMMUNICATE & THEIR DISTRIBUTION AND ORGANIZATION BY WILLIAM B. DIETZ DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Vikram Adve, Chair Professor John Regehr, University of Utah Professor Tao Xie Assistant Professor Sasa Misailovic ABSTRACT Managing the overwhelming complexity of software is a fundamental challenge because complex- ity is the root cause of problems regarding software performance, size, and security. Complexity is what makes software hard to understand, and our ability to understand software in whole or in part is essential to being able to address these problems effectively. Attacking this overwhelming complexity is the fundamental challenge I seek to address by simplifying how we write, organize and think about programs. Within this dissertation I present a system of tools and a set of solutions for improving the nature of software by focusing on programmer’s desired outcome, i.e. their intent. At the program level, the conventional focus, it is impossible to identify complexity that, at the system level, is unnecessary. This “accidental complexity” includes everything from unused features to independent implementations of common algorithmic tasks. Software techniques driving innovation simultaneously increase the distance between what is intended by humans – developers, designers, and especially the users – and what the executing code does in practice. By preserving the declarative intent of the programmer, which is lost in the traditional process of compiling and linking and building software, it is easier to abstract away unnecessary details.
