Hey guys, bit of a linux newbie here made into a believer when I saw your distro.
I volunteer most of my time as a tech to a non-profit organization and since we have to use old hardware, I can tell you that your distro fits the bill very nicely in getting our rears on-line.
However, I will make a few suggestions because I was attempting to do the very same thing with freedos for a while (Hey don't laugh. It ALMOST worked using a freedos/Arachne combo).
Would DSL be slimmer if it used Nano-X with the NXLIB instead of it's current X-server? The current NXLIB Project, a companion project to Microwindows allows X11 binaries to run unmodified using the Microwindows Nano-X server. Sounds like it would be interesting if DSL would become a fierce competitor to white dwarf in the realm of embedded systems.
You can find out more at microwindows.org
Also, I would be for placing a few extra scripts that are like the ones you used for the firebird download. I suggest GAIM since it's in my experience that what people use the net for is browse/music/chat and pretty much nothing else. The current chat softwares used in this distro are fine for old tinkerers and script monkeys like us. We can handle it. However, for the complete novice, it can be overwhelming.
Still all and out, I think this distro still whips the penguin's ass!!
