DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Spiffy CDs

Makes sence

Let me add...
This type of free style development works really well with this project, there is just a couple of us actively developing DSL and there isn't really a 'road map'.

The goal is to make the best desktop distribution possible which will fit into a 50MB compressed iso. We release a new version when we think there is a sufficient step in that direction.

How do you guys decide what's good enough, and what you can add, and all of that ?

I kinda want in on this.

If we think it is worthy of people to use in place of the previous release.

We aren't in a position to have it be a public decision at this time. If you have some ideas or code contributions please email me.

Well John ...
Whatever your doin' ...
However your doin' it ...

Don't Stop !!
It just WORKS !

I've now got 6 computers here at home running
some type of DSL 0.7.1 ... Most of the household's day-to-day
computing needs are being handled with DamnSmallLinux.
( Email, surfing, ftp, net management, documents, entertainment, etc...)

I been following DSL with interest since version 0.4.* ...
Throughout that time, I've seen DSL grow into a distro
that builds on the USERS feedback, input, and challenges ...

Your approach of creating a small, light distro that runs on just about
anything, and is packed with useful applications from the first install,
is a tremendous asset to itself.

Compare that to other distros that give you the choice of a
"barebones" install, which usually includes the cli and some net tools.
Or, the usual install, which contains gig after gig of stuff I'd rather
not have using up my resources.

DSL has continued to grow from this solid 50meg base.
Versions 0.6 thru now 0.7.1 now give the USER the ability
to add only what their hardware can support, or what
apps they would really like to have included.in THEIR distro.

So, as to the cycle of releases and updates..
1.) I enjoy seeing solutions integrated into the distro quickly...
2.) And I look forward to each revision with anticipation ...

Keep up the fine work ...
