I'm quite attracted to the simplicity of it.

I have to agree with you on it.  

I've been working with it for two weeks now (I'm a Unix-like OS novice) and the fact that I can run the embedded version of it and ease myself into it.

I'm really considering running the Debian HDD install version.  There are a lot of things that I still don't get but I find that it's fun to get things to work for me.

I am a member of choir arguing low hardware resources, working on old equipment (Pentium II mmx mobile).

It's a very important feature for DSL as it makes it stand out from anything else.
