What does 'DSLR' Linux mean?
DSL remake or "Digital
Single Lens reflex".
My choice is the latter,
being a pathologist, having used outdated monocular microscope to
digital microscope in my life time a Linux Distribution with a name
tag Lens attached, if not outrageous, is a welcome change.
In the same sense I love
the name Google Glass for a camera which is the other end of the Lens
architecture and nomenclature.
Other reason is it is
based on DSL, Damn Small Linux, under 50 MiB.
I love small is beautiful
concept.
Then my favorite I Puppy
Linux.
I entered into Linux in my
twilight years unlike Linus and Knoppix.
I also believe that the
teacher learns more from the student, rather than other way round,
especially at the University Level, if not in the kindergarten.
DSLR
is two steps forward from DSL and Puppy and the developer has done
extremely clever integration into a single iso image all the
utilities to start Linux from scratch.
Linux
from scratch is in its 7.5 version is not a iso image but the full
technical know how to build a Linux distribution from scratch.
That
is the third step.
Mind
you this is for developer guys but a normal user can start getting a
hang of make up files and Linux.
Documentation
is succinct and useful.
Other
important issue is it is built on 64 bits.
I have
not tried it since, I still use an old computer.
I will
be migrating to 64 bit to save energy and electricity bill but that
will be in my retirement endeavour.
It is
not going to be small as DSL but it is small enough to be called
light weight.
I
think any guy or girl interested in Linux should give it try and
write a thesis or blog piece of one's experience.
Hats
off these clever guys who always think differently.
They a
not reinventing the wheel.
They
are really investing on the huge Linux base.
Thank
you guys and girls of Digital Single Lens Reflex.
