DSL Frugal Install tar.gz and uci on old hardware FTW
debian HDD install great for getting your dsl feet wet but Frugal or LiveCD is the way to go(i like frugal it frees up my optical drive for other disks and my HDD is faster)
On my more up to date and powerful Desktops their is a variety of distro's with all the full on bells and whistles. One of the most cool things about dsl LiveCD or Frugal installs is that if you bork it up you just rm the backup.tar.gz or if you REALLY borked it up you just reinstall your frugal image to that little 60mb partition(takes a whole 10min including opening and drinking part of a beer)
Anyway the only thing i want to see happening to DSL is for it to continue down its current path. I love having an OS that rox my 366mhz box! am typing this from an old IBM thinkpad 366mhz(celeron)-256mb RAM-4gb HDD-rt2500based WiFi
This computer USED to run win98 great, but some of the M$ patches borked it up to the point of nastiness. DSL runs better on this than Winders ever did, and oh yeah theres an Open Office extension for dsl(3 flavors i think) so this little laptop never had it so good.
Anyway theres my 2cents.
