hey,

does anyone know what version of the kernel DSL uses now, and has anyone tried it out on vmware?

Damn Small Linux 4.1 which was released on December 2, 2007 uses Linux kernel 2.4.31. DSL does not use Linux 2.6 for a variety of reasons (http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Will_DSL_ever_use_the_2.6_kernel.3F_Has_it_eve n_been_considered.3F). However if you want the 2.6 kernel you can try DSL-N (http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#What_is_DSL-N_and__what_are_Minimum_Requirements_for_it_with_X-window).

Thanks for giving me the command, I love it when people do that. It expands my linux troubleshooting repitoire.

Repertoire - just to expand your English, uh, repertoire ;)

Haven't tried DSL in vmware but it was fine in virtualbox for me.
