in reguards to your points.
1. Done. with ndiswrapper, almost any wireless device that works with windoze works with DSL.
2. the netcardconfig script will set up just about any kind of network connection you could want, and there is the terminal-based samba for windows shares. And for the people who demand a GUI, there's the lineighborhood .dsl.
3. the libs in DSL, while not being cutting-edge, they are up to date enough for most purposes.
4. axyFTP works like a charm for people who want a GUI, but I prefer terminal based ftp anyway.
Sylpheed is GREAT. What is there to complain about there?
But the one area DSL is rather weak is the primary browser - Dillo. I HATE Dillo. I use Links and gLinks before I'll ever touch Dillo. Unless I'm on a decent speed connection, then it's firefox all the way, baby.
5. IPTABLES is a great firewall, but since DSL is meant to be run from RAM, Live-CD, or another read-only media, it's really not needed.
Just backup what you need to keep onto a usb pendrive beforehand, and if you get hacked, reboot!
But DSL should keep it's "small and light" philosophy. It's great to see the look on people's faces when you show them what it will do, and then tell them it's only 50mb small. ^_^

They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.
