I've been using DSL for about six months now, and for the last 3 or so months I've used a system with no hard-drive (purchased from the DSL Store!) running off a USB stick as my main machine.
Yesterday we needed new server in the lab and I realized I hadn't even turned on my "big box' (3 GHz, 1GB RAM, 80GB HD) for a month. So this morning I burned a few backup CDs, cleard the hard drive, and handed it over to the sysadmin.
Now the only box in my office is my silent, diskless DSL system.
DSL has really redefined the idea of "Workstation" for me.
