What about it?

Ubuntu is nicer

That's your opinion. You're free to have it. I have a partition with Kubuntu, and I also run a few other Linux distros and OpenBSD. They're all "nice," whatever one could possibly mean by such a subjective, ambiguous adjective. Whatever I can't do with DSL's 50 MB I can add via extension, customization, etc.

and looks nicer

Maybe you'll reach a different conclusion if take enough time to understand what DSL is and isn't, how to make effective use(s) of DSL, and how to make DSL look however you want. At the end of the day, DSL is a GNU-Linux distribution that includes the kernel, utilities, etc., just like Ubuntu.

BTW, looks are superficial and shallow. Judge distros by function and usefulness and you'll see that DSL stands head and shoulders with the rest, and without requiring massive amounts of RAM, swap, or space on a hard drive.

Ok sorry i guess not. sorry

Ubuntu is great too !
but not for old PC

Agreed. DSL is justly popular, as shown by Distrowatch rankings.

In addition, the Fluxbox desktop even appeals to some Ubuntu users, as shown by the existence of the Fluxbuntu project. Simplicity and efficiency built on the relatively small Ubuntu Server config, Fluxbox, and the Ubuntu repositories. Bigger than DSL, but what isn't? ;-)
