Well John ... Whatever your doin' ... However your doin' it ...
Don't Stop !! It just WORKS !
I've now got 6 computers here at home running some type of DSL 0.7.1 ... Most of the household's day-to-day computing needs are being handled with DamnSmallLinux. ( Email, surfing, ftp, net management, documents, entertainment, etc...)
I been following DSL with interest since version 0.4.* ... Throughout that time, I've seen DSL grow into a distro that builds on the USERS feedback, input, and challenges ...
Your approach of creating a small, light distro that runs on just about anything, and is packed with useful applications from the first install, is a tremendous asset to itself.
Compare that to other distros that give you the choice of a "barebones" install, which usually includes the cli and some net tools. Or, the usual install, which contains gig after gig of stuff I'd rather not have using up my resources.
DSL has continued to grow from this solid 50meg base. Versions 0.6 thru now 0.7.1 now give the USER the ability to add only what their hardware can support, or what apps they would really like to have included.in THEIR distro.
So, as to the cycle of releases and updates.. 1.) I enjoy seeing solutions integrated into the distro quickly... 2.) And I look forward to each revision with anticipation ...
Keep up the fine work ...
