DSL

  1. Short for Digital Subscriber Line, DSL is a method for home users and small businesses to have high speed access to the Internet over standard copper lines. Capable of receiving up to 6.1 megabits per second, DSL is a great solution providing it is available in your area. Because of the technology used, you must be within a certain distance from your phone company's CO for DSL to work or be available.
  2. Abbreviation for Damn Small Linux, DSL is a x86 Linux distro that has been intentionally made small to fit on business cards, USB drives, compact flash cards and other small medium that can store at least 50MB.
