I have happily tried out DSL before, but I may have missed one or two releases lately - I've actually been working full time in the software industry again, so I have had less time than I've had the past four years or so to test out new software releases.
Once again, I am favorably impressed with the combination of small footprint and good performance with DSL 2.2. I noted a few options that I did not remember trying out before - particularly JVM - I think I have used only Fluxbox in the past - maybe I just didn't notice this feature previously.
Anyway, I tried loading toram, setting vga=792 (16M colors @ 1024x768) with JVM and this combination is terrific!
I use DSL in this way when I just want to do mainly Web browsing. Man, does the browser pop right up and take off! Page rendering is really quick when you run a browser from RAM.
I suspect a lot of people use DSL with multimedia apps. I am more of a basic technical user. I don't really use a lot of the features, but I use text editors, Email clients, and Web browsers quite a bit. You can't beat DSL for these kinds of things.
Great job once again!
