Just as a base comparison, Fatdog also uses high xz compression of the main sfs, 450MB compared to DSL's 666MB
Fadog base has seamonkey, libreoffice, vlc ... and a bunch of the other common tools, geany, leafpad, galculator, osmo, notecase ...etc. And that's just one alternative ... of hundreds. DSL used to compete in a very narrow arena, as-is I suspect it wont go as far and will take more effort than if instead it were simplified to focus on the useful small distro/boot end.
But John you've done a great job and the fluxbox desktop looks great. I personally prefer jwm however, familiarity, so when switched to that it looks - much the same as many other alternatives, nothing particularly distinctive or capturing.
Sorry to down-tread, I honestly mean good-intent.
