Safe to say this is UNOFFICIAL. With the discussion over kernels and hardware in the DSL 4 thread, I'm just curious how many people want DSL-N to continue and the direction it should take. And how soon. Feel free to add comments.

I haven't personally used DSL-N, so I don't feel like voting..

My opinion would be that if there's need for it, it should turn to community development. I don't dare to say anything about the direction though..

Tried DSL-N a while ago but lost interest because of lack of software.
Apt-get would be an argument for me to try it once again!

Just out of curiosity, why apt-get (especially if you mean over MyDSL extensions if they were available and instead of Debian or *buntu)?

Just because the time I tried DSL-N there have been not so much useful extensions. On my DSL machines I´m using a Debian type (HD-) installation. So there a many more programs to use.
