John, Robert, all DSL contributors: Kudos. You have succeded at creatihg the long-sought, much-debated, often maligned "Internet Appliance" - a good, reliable, tool to surf the Internet.
DSL has the latest, best browsers - Opera and Mozilla. DSL has a nice and easy firewall. And Java. And the promise of more easy updates and extensions.
Knoppix has outdated, incomplete Internet software. It is effectively impossible to update for an ignoramus like myself - and all the "normal" people out there - 99% of the species.
Windows is unreliable. With DSL on CD, you just press hardware reset and in a couple minutes all viruses, key loggers, trojan horses, spyware, worms, whatever; are gone. A lifesaver.
The last point might be worth greater focus from all of you. The fact that it does take two or more long minutes on my poor old machine might tempt one to install DSL on a new fast SATA hard drive. But then you lose the lifesaving "clean CD boot" capability which I insist is crucial.
Soooooo... The UCI format is the solution. Boots fast. Runs from CD. MORE UCI! Especially: -The Gimp -Abiword -Flash Macromedia [[licensing??]] -A really good hex edotor -FreeBasic [[yes, FreeBasic]]....
