I keep searching for that special small distro that has everything I need for my "schools in El Salvador"  project, but everything I encounter falls short of my expectations  the main reson :I can SSH  into SKOLELINUX or KNOPPIX with SSH server enabeled and VOILA I have a fast Konqueror or Moziila or any of the heavy weight applications for some reason I can't do that from a light DEBIAN box something about not being able to open X or Kdependant application (to technocal for me,so I rely on my trustworthy lil'old DSL.  ).
Thanks a million DSL.

Are you talking about not being able to use X forwarding over ssh? If you are then you probably just need to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the server and change

X11Forwarding no

to

X11Forwarding yes

Then restart sshd. On the client you should use ssh -X hostname_here (-X makes sure ssh forwarding is enabled).

I use the same server whether I ssh from DSL or another debian box
and only dsl allows me to open  gui apps without any effort just ssh username@host , type password and away I go .
although I should be fair and point out that I achieved the same thing using puupy linux but I had to enter the RSA authentication key manually which I did not have to do with DSL.
I don't know if it is a good thing or not
