Great live distro and even better for really old machines. Haven't bought a computer from them so I don't have an opinion on those.

Good distro for old hardware, but it's not that functional on new machines. DSL has been stuck on the 2.4 kernel since version 1.0, so much of the hardware on my laptop (WiFI, SATA drive) doesn't work.
