So if I apt-get sendmail and config/make/make-install

You don't do both. You'll get a binary from apt-get, and apt-get handles the dependencies (which MIGHT be a problem as curaga said because DSL isn't straight-laced Debian). You'll make a binary from source with ./configure, etc., so you'll have to do all your dependencies on your own.

'do the dependencies on my own'.....What is the easiest way to do this? (look at the sendmail doc, check the dependency list, get and install each dependency? or is there an easier/better way?)

wow, they have lot's of bugs do they?

Some of these go beyond "bugs." If it weren't for NoScript, I would've removed firefox from this computer (Windows) altogether.

What is the easiest way to do this?

Method one: install dpkg from MyDSL. Use apt-get.

Method two: install gcc, etc., from MyDSL. Download sources. Compile.

You want ease? I don't think sendmail answers that question.
