If you guys are serious about expanding your community and promoting your product (especially with charitable puroposes) then I think you should make user friendliness a higher priority.  :angry:

Hmmm let's see.

You can load over one hundred applications on demand by either:
Interactive GUI
Emelfm button
CLI

You can create your own version of DSL by:
Knoppix remaster
Multisession CD with .dsl files
USB stick with .dsl files
CF card with .dsl files
mymydsl script (complete with boot options)

You can run DSL from:
CD
USB
CF card
Embedded in:
   Linux
   Windows

DSL has a complete documentation project and a Search button of over 5000 topics.

DSL has a very helpful community who not only provides extensive forum support but also a dedicated IRC channel.

Nearly every extension in the repository has been submitted by a member of the community, NOT a DSL developer.

This is all accomplished with a base of 50mb.

Did I mention that it can run on anything from a 486DX2 with 16mb ram to modern systems?

So, your desire for the Rox Desktop negates all of this and makes DSL a non user-friendly distro? Interesting.

Maybe you might consider what I did when I wanted my first .dsl. I read the forum posts and asked a couple of questions, created my .dsl and submitted to the community. That's an intriguing idea.

it's been discussed many times and simply won't happen

That's an incorrect assumption.  Anything can be made into an extension, with enough patience and experimenting.
There is already a Rox extension...not sure if this is Rox Desktop or just the file manager.
