With Linux attracting a worldwide audience of customers who prefer the open source paradigm to closed operating systems, CeBit -- the world?s largest international trade show -- was the perfect venue for Novell this week to announce its latest version of Linux for the desktop. Renamed Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop, this combination desktop OS and productivity suite is expected to ship by the third quarter.

Dawn Small Linux 2.1 has been released:

Damn Small is small enough and smart enough to do the following things:
- Boot from a business card CD as a live linux distribution (LiveCD)
- Boot from a USB pen drive
- Boot from within a host operating system (that's right, it can run *inside* Windows)
- Run very nicely from an IDE Compact Flash drive via a method we call "frugal install"
- Transform into a Debian OS with a traditional hard drive install
- Run light enough to power a 486DX with 16MB of Ram
- Run fully in RAM with as little as 128MB (you will be amazed at how fast your computer can be!)
- Modularly grow -- DSL is highly extendable without the need to customize
