I thought it was a good review compared to others done recently.

The only reason why DSL scored lower overall is the author's preference for bubble icons on the desktop for appearance sake as far as I can tell.

Of course he has never tried to use those icons on an 8bit desktop or DSL would beat Feather hands down for appearance :-)

But what bugs me about all of the reviews (not just this one) is that the authors just don't GET IT when it comes to the whole myDSL system and how it works.

At least there was a screen capture of the myDSL gui, so this is better than some.

If I were a person reading the reviews, I would want to know this information:

1. DSL is tiny but if I want more programs on my livecd, I CAN BUILD MY OWN CUSTOM ISO and burn it to CD. So I can add almost any of the programs that were featured in the other livecds if I choose to do this.

2. DSL has a modular extendability so I can grab one of these programs from the myDSL gui and try them out before going through the process of rebuilding a n entirely new ISO.

Other than the "klik" thing and KNOPPIX (which wasn't reviewed as a "Small Linux" category), these concepts are uniquely implemented and just as important USABLE when you choose DSL livecd.

And i think a good way to promote people LEARNING what they don't know already right now would be to update our website a bit, design wise, content wise.

That would solve a lot of the issues we have with usability (and new-user) issues.

Aside from that our archaic kernel could have had something to do with it ;) With Feather just slipping the 2.4.27 in there on us. bahaha...oh well!

This is true...making it a tiny bit more eye cathing would be cool

But its awesome as it is I guess
