Hi i'm kind of new to linux but seem to be getting myself easily around on it. Well what i'd like to do is have an attempt to adding new software and games etc to this Damnsmalllinux, for my own fun and knowledge, could anyone point me to the right direction on what i'd have to know in order to do shit type of stuff? Thanks.

If you're new, your best bet is to install synaptic.
Search the forums for the various posts and script.

What it gives you is a gui front-end to the apt-get package manger.
Lots of lists of software packages you can download and what will /won't run on DSL.

shit happens
