I never got a go ahead from enough people to put the machine online that I was going to put online for group work. I need capable people who know what they're doing in order for me to put the machine online for them to use to actually make DSL server Edition. Read "commitment."
Here are some basics I've put together:
DSL server edition will attempt to maintain a less than 180 meg (for mini-cds, not business card CDs) size limit, but if not just a standard ISO size...It will still be 'lean'. It wont have X -you dont need X. It wont . Chances of this size are pretty doable. I think we would include the basic servers that come with DSL, but alternatively a full apache, and thttpd in addition to the small webserver which comes with dsl, monkey i believe? but i've never used it. a small mail server, dns server, configurable ftp server (vhosts/etc)...
A backup device to store the servers settings on would be integral obviously, so the server would need either floppy or some other form of external storage. unless you remaster and whatnot...but a static place in the tree for all configs would be nice.
hdinstall, sure, but if you're going to hdinstall you can pretty much install your own stuff. or use a larger distribution...
Key here would be maintenance. Thats why there need to be dedicated people. When you take on a server distribution project you're taking on all of the responsibilities of keeping it up to date, secure, and uncrack/hack/dosable...that means a new release anytime an exploit is found...I dont have the time for that. Otherwise, it'd just be a stale DSL, stripped of all the niceties, with a couple of servers installed...
And that as they say, is all the rave.
