Sorry Davide,
What we are actually discussing is not really DSL.
More like fantasy football, what our dream mini distro would be 
DSL was designed for the mini CD with it's 50mb limit and even the hard disk install is a secondary consideration.
Like many others I'm impressed by the versatility it gives to old equipment, but it's only human to want more!
At work I have to deal with loads of word docs, teds no use so Open Off would be handy for me.......
I also do some web mastering so simple graphic & camera progs would be a bonus as I could resize & change my photos etc..
No I don't want knoppix with all that bloat, or Mandrake.
If I want a mature distro I'd go with slack every time but have you looked at what the full install of one of thes distros takes, three CD's of mostly garbage. I haven't the time or inclination to strip one down 
Once you use a system for any length of time you find you that it's a very small number of programs you use regularly.
DSL and its clones are truly excellent at what they do, but the bottom line in linux is that you roll your own and I'd rather start with small and work up
.......just a thought
