Senduit review - Sharing large files with tiny URL

If you want to send a small file to your friend then you can zip and email it.
But if you want to send a big file which is more than 10 MB
(which is the upload limit for most of the email services)
then this site is for you http://www.senduit.com/

Pros:
  • You can set the time limit after which the file expires !!
  • No registration required !!
  • Very Clean and simple interface !!
  • Download URL is neat and tiny !!

Cons:
  • The file size is limited to only 100MB :(
  • No file hosting for forever!! (Max is 1 week) :(

Verdict:
  • Good !!

Now Enjoy !!

UNIX/LINUX - REVIVE YOUR OLD PC WITH LINUX

Damn Small Linux (DSL) - DSL is a very versatile 50MB mini desktop oriented
Linux distribution. Damn Small is small enough and smart enough to do the
following things: Boot from a business card CD as a live linux distribution
(LiveCD); Boot from a USB pen drive; Boot from within a host operating system
(that's right, it can run *inside* Windows); Run very nicely from an IDE Compact
Flash drive via a method we call "frugal install"; Transform into a Debian OS
with a traditional hard drive install; Run light enough to power a 486DX with
16MB of Ram; Run fully in RAM with as little as 128MB (you will be amazed at how
fast your computer can be!); Modularly grow - DSL is highly extendable without
the need to customize.
