lol, sorry, I was going to not have DSL but, then I thought people would get pissed off at me so I decided to give it its own little section. Anyways polls are useless as they say on the slashdot polls

I use DSL as a live CD and will eventually hdinstall it on my old 60Mhz Pentium computer once I get my old Microsoft PS/2 mouse working with the kdrive servers (could be a while).

My installed Linux is currently Peanut Linux, which is great for multimedia and is not too bloated. Especially version 9.4
Version 9.5 has KDE which adds to the total install size.

I use Slack9.1 with fluxbox for my main machine but DSL for my little p150 32meg screamer.
Runs like the proverbial off a shovel with ADSL.
It gives me great pleasure to run a lean & mean machine without the bloat of other distros.
Just keep them coming John :)

I think,
livecd -> DSL (small machine), Knoppix
newbies -> SuSe, Yast2 ist very great tool or Knoppix!
spezial projects like CFD-HD install -> DSL!!! :-)
workstation -> RedHat 9, Knoppix!
Router -> fli4l  Floppylinux

I'm currently using Debian on my 2gig 512meg box - but I cheated the "can you install Debian?" test by using a hd install of Knoppix.   :p

I'm on dial-up anyway, so upgrading a Woody install would have been a very tedious business.

I have Vector Linux 3.2 SOHO on my Pentium 200mmx 64meg machine, but my next project is to install DSL on it. Vector is a nice distro, but I can't resist the opportunity to have a really lean Debian-compatible system on the old box...

I think DSL is a fantasic achievement- congratulations to John and all concerned.
