Hi people. I have a laptop with 2 GB of RAM and 2 cores of RAM. The question is, which version is better to choose, if of course there are enough characteristics for the installations

Hi. Do I still need to run Isohybrid on the dsl-2024.rc5.iso image to create a bootable USB? I'm on Linux Mint and have tried this following the instructions and using USB Image Writer and Etcher to write to USB. No luck so far in creating a bootable USB for my Asus VivoBook. Never had any problems booting other distros from USB with my laptop before.
Any links to a foolproof, USB bootable DSL image for new Linux users? Thanks.
I have also tested Antix on my VivoBook. Burned the current ISO to USB using USB Image Writer on Mint. The VivioBook booted from USB with no problems. Any tips would be welcome. Thanks.

Not sure if this is an issue or not, and not sure if it is directly related to AntiX or DSL, but here goes:
I have a fresh install of DSL 2024 and while changing the name of my server in /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts I came across >75000 entries in my hosts file like this:
# BEGIN (below) - IPs added by antiX Advert Blocker #
127.0.0.1 <my host name>
.
. a lot of the same entries here
.
127.0.0.1 <my host name>
# END (above) - IPs added by antiX Advert Blocker #
I've read a couple of posts on AntiX forums about removing antiX Advert Blocker and I will do that if the hosts file continues to get overrun by these entries. However, anyone have any insight into why/how these entries are being populated?

Hi, thank you very much for reviving this project, it is running very well on my old EeePC.
I just had one issue: gksu doesn't seem to be working. No window opens, and this results in apps like control centre not opening and leaving gksu processes running in the background.
Here is the result of gksu --debug apt update:
Code: No ask_pass set, using default!
xauth: /tmp/libgksu-TE6qLq/.Xauthority
STARTUP_ID: gksu/apt 'update' /2070-0-EeePC_TIME1120526
cmd[0]: /usr/bin/sudo
cmd[1]: -H
cmd[2]: -s
cmd[3]: -p
cmd[4]: GNOME_SUDO_PASS
cmd[5]: -u
cmd[6]: root
cmd[7]: --
cmd[8]: apt
cmd[9]: update
buffer: --
buffer: --
buffer: --
buffer: --
[...]
buffer: --
buffer: --
buffer: --
buffer: --
brute force GNOME_SUDO_PASS ended...
No password prompt found; we'll assume we don't need a password.
Everything is default, and I do have a password set. Running latest rc5. Any help is much appreciated

For this RC, I focused on making DSL 2024 more low-RAM friendly. I developed a routine that bypasses Slimski and directly launches Xorg with settings that are less RAM-intensive. I also added EmelFM, a functional and low-RAM GTK1.2-based file manager, and the very lightweight icon manager Idesk. You will see new boot options: "low ram" and "lower ram". These modes both use a desktop menu that prioritizes lighter-weight application options.
The results are impressive: the "low ram" option boots to the desktop 30% faster and uses 20% less RAM with icons and Conky running. The "lower ram" option boots 42% faster and uses 36% less RAM with no icons and no Conky.
Additionally, I fixed the repository issue and an annoying resizing bug in XMMS.
Updated packages:
antix-archive-keyring
cli-shell-utils
firefox-esr
fonts-opensymbol
less
libc-bin
libc-l10n
libc6
libdav1d6
libelogind-compat
libelogind0
libglib2.0-0
libgs-common
libgs10
libgs10-common
locales
packageinstaller-pkglist-libre
repo-list
smxi-inxi-antix
I am still looking for laptop refurbishers to partner with.
