I would like to see a DSL-stripped (DSL-naked?).
There are many applications packaged with DSL that I rarely use on a day-to-day basis, if at all!
For example, I don't use Beaver and rarely use Ted. I rarely use Emefm and have never used Midnight Commander. I rarely use Firefox; Dillo usually suits my needs. I don't use jvwm. I don't play the games.
The "nevers", obviously, I wouldn't miss. The "rarely"s, obviously, I would prefer to load as an extension should I need them.
I envision this theoretical DSL-naked as a graphic, extensible tomsrtbt: barebones, but very functional.
I'm not sure what actual use it would be to me to have a 32mb DSL, but it sure would be fun to play with.
It would not replace DSL for me, but could lay the grounds for highly specialized systems. For example, DSL-naked would be well suited for setting an internet kiosk.
Meh. Them's me thoughts.
