You are talking about building "pre-built" specialized version of DSL

like:

1.  Multimedia DSL
2.  CD burning DSL
3.  Gaming DSL

or am I off?

Yes, you are right on.

If there was a server DSL, could you imagine the popularity that would quickly come? I could!

DSL will always be a sub 50M iso -- that's why it keeps improving, when you can't build out you can only build up.

But here is a little tidbit, we are going to come out with at least one 'knock off' distribution.  There's been plenty of other people doing it, so why not do it ourselves?  I am not going to say much accept that it will be very DSL like, but bigger and probably only i686 compatible.  It will *not* be a replacement for DSL, but will fit nicely as an alternative running on i686 hardware -- count on it still being very small.  That's it for now.

Oh yes. It would be sweet if there were a DSL with Xfree and accelerated graphics. Not to mention a snappier firefox.
I'll be waiting.

No promises about what will or will not be included.  Also, no requests yet please.
