Newbie idea vomit - willz06jw - 02-09-2026
Hi everyone,
I used to use DSL back in the day, like more than a few of you.
I'm looking forward to a DSL 2024 full release and am going to install on an old netbook someone gave me
Here are some ideas I have had so far:
--Remove the gotcha style ads on the webpage. If I recommend this distro to someone, and they can't figure out which "Download here" button is real or fake, it would make us both look bad.
--Fix the Paypal error, where you donate and then it doesn't go back to the main page
--Publish a roadmap of future release milestones and estimated times of release
--Remove 2024 from the name, its 2026. How about Freaking Damn Small Linux?
--create 4 versions: DVD-size, CD-size, Zipdisk-size (100MB), and Floppy-size (1.44MB)
I expect the antiX version won't be able to cram into a zipdisk more than my wife's foot can fit into a normal woman's sized shoe, but perhaps we could do what is possible (like a tiny core version for the zipdisk-size and ELKS version for the floppy size) --- and make the rest a work in process.
Also, open the project up to other developers...you and Cursor can't write the whole thing man!
Have a good one and thank you for your damn awesome work over the years,
Will
