User Feedback :: Do you use myDSL extensions?
I use them, And I prefer this distro over all others. It the time it takes to download the first fedora cd I can download yours, install it, configure it, turn it off and watch a two hour movie, before fedora is downloaded.
Sorry to say that my servers are still on RedHat ES3.0... Holding out hope for DSL.
Keep up the good work.
I' ve tried a few of them, and though i'm running dsl on a small configuration, i plan using them a lot. The uci are really great. i'm using extensively the vim uci and the mplayer.dsl. I keep using the base distro a lot but new uci will be welcome.
I use mainly extentions, just to get started i install gtk2, gaim, codecpak, artwiz-fonts, rox, mplayer, mplayer-plugin, abiword, cups, dpkg, Firefox 1.5.0.2 and i would diffently add alot more if i could fit it. But i also have to install some debs for things i can't find in the dsl extensions.
I think the main point of the dsl's is how simple it is, i'm sure i could work with out them but i wouldn't want to. I keep everything i use on a 128 usb key, that's how i measure for the 256 ram i run on, DSL plus the extesions on the usb key is exactly the perfect balance so i have enough room to still be able to run with out it locking up. It took alot of trial and restarts to get it just right because it adds up 128mb size of all the apps i add + 50mb dsl size and i use a if'y 512 usb as swap. The monitor say's im 50% on ram and 56% on swap you can't get better balance than that.LOL
Yes, extremely useful and the one thing that makes a livecd a usuable day to day OS. A simple, reliable way of installing applications (I use a 512MB USB pendrive on an EPIA 5000).
Keep them coming!
Many thanks & keep up the good work.
I just put an IDE to CF adapter on my Epia-based system and did a frugal grub install from the pendrive. This thing is so kewl. It acts like it has a hard drive. I can make the grub boot screen say whatever I like, and modify the boot commands whenever I want.
