I use a few of them. The nice thing about this system is how easy it is to restore your custom setup at each upgrade, or if you have a tendancy to mistreat your filesystems like I do (instant shutdown, power failures, etc.) Everything can be brought back to normal on the next reboot.

Was a big part in the decision to use mydsl as my primary os - frugal plus the MyDSL system is an excellent system imo and makes it very easy to start working with the os in the first instance.

If not for myDSL, I would probably not use DSL at all.  This isn't to say it's not a great distro, of course, but since i don't have an old box that *requires* a tiny super-fast distro I use other distros as my main workhorse.  Those distros that already have a full development system, multi-user, openGL, cron, locate, etc installed are just more convenient for me for day-to-day use.  But DSL is my favorite toy, and it is mostly due to myDSL.

UCI packages are revolutionary, and in my opinion the most clever and flexible way to run applications I have seen yet.  It's particularly useful for apps that I don't use frequently.

I only voted that I use less than ten because I have not yet found more I can use. I love the convienience of just one click to install..I do not yet understand how to create them or would add more. if not for mydsl extensions I may not be able to use dsl on some older equipment. I like them and hope more are added...
