I would like to gauge the popularity of the myDSL system.

Please Vote by selecting one of the choices above.

I think that the myDSL extensions are one of the most powerful and valuable features of DSL.  As far as I know DSL is the only 50MB distro offering them.  These extensions, BTW, work far better than, say, Kanotix' 'kilk' which are buggy.  The fact that the backup/restore option makes it possible to store myDSL extentions on, say, a flash USB thumbdrive is AWESOME.

My deepest thanks for creating this fantastic tool!

Kind regards,

Vees

I think the myDSL extensions are what really makes this distro stand out from other minimalistic distros.  They give you a way to have your OS just as big as you want it without useless bloat.

I voted option 4, but it isn't really true.  I use many, many extensions and prefer them over apt-get, but I also really like the base apps.

I haven't done a remaster, but I might as well have considering how little my desktop resembles the base system.
