Top 10 of lightweight Linux distributions

In this post, I will introduce ten most useful and best known lightweight distributions. Eight of these distros are meant to be lightweight, and do not demand newest hardware. The rest two can be used as the basis of a custom lightweight system.

First four miniature distributions:

·         Damn Small Linux, a.k.a DSL is a popular extremely small distro. It is a 50 MB live CD, but it can also be installed on the hard drive. DSL can be run completely in RAM, and it can install more programs from an online repository. DSL recommends a P200 and 64 MB.

·         Puppy Linux is another installable live CD. It should run on any Pentium with at least 32 MB and boot under 60 seconds. It aims to be as easy to use as possible and assumes no technical expertise.

How to Accessing a Blog or Website That Has Been Blocked/Banned By ESET

If you are using ESET security products, both ESET NOD32 Antivirus or ESET Smart Security, certainly never visit a blog or website, but the site could not be opened because ESET has been blocking them.  This is because ESET consider these sites contain malicious that are considered dangerous.  So access to the site is blocked.

Actually the site is not necessarily harmful.  I found a clue why ESET block a site.  From experience I find, the sites containing the keygen, crack, username and password ESET that are not genuine, which is associated with ESET, most have been blocked by ESET. Or from the name of the site itself, such as esetkey, nod32key, keyeset, etc., the name of a site that contains crack ESET also will be banned.

Most of the sites that post the username and password ESET also been blocked, although there are some that have not been caught by ESET and can still be accessed.  Well, this also will I fear on my site.  I often do updates username and password ESET, could be a moment ESET could block the site.  But I hope that ESET did not do it.  Because the content of my site not all extracts contain the username and password ESET, but instead mostly containing free software.


How do I access the site that contains update username and password ESET, that has been blocked by ESET?


One of ESET features that could block a Web site is ESET Web Access Protection.  This feature will block Web sites that containing malicious. So, if you want to visit a site that was blocked by ESET, you must first turn off/disable the features of Web Access Protection.


How do I disable the Web Access Protection?

1. Open the ESET program
2. Select the Setup menu and then click Antivirus and antispyware protection

3. On menu of Web access protection, click Disable

4. By disabling Web access protection feature, warning ESET will appear on the try icon, and ESET logo becomes yellow.
5. Ignore this warning.  Don’t worry, your computer is still protected by ESET, only Web access protection features are disabled.
