Well since I couldn't install DSL-2024 on my resurrected netbook I did the second best and installed the last version of antix. Just installed it and it looks great. Will test it further.

Why DSL 2024? |

I've always been an admirer of DSL and John and the folks who have done such a great job with the product over the years.
But with DSL 2024, I think I need to understand better -- why would someone use DSL 2024, versus alternatives like antiX or Puppy?
If it's a matter of distro size and computer resources, antiX and Puppy both run very comfortably on early dual-core computers (those made circa 2005-7).
I'm not sure I see a niche for another distro that "runs on old computers" unless DSL 2024 targets single core processors.
Or are there other features or benefits that will distinguish DSL 2024?
Thank you for your responses.

Badwolf feedback requested |

I selected Badwolf as the default browser because it seems to have low ram use compared to other HTML5 browsers and has a relatively small footprint.
I would really like some feedback on people's experience with it. I think some folks are missing how to enable JavaScript. For those of you installing DSL are you using Badwolf or are you quickly switching over to something like Firefox?

Preference: Fluxbox vs. JWM vs. Other? |

I am curious about people's preferences when it comes to window managers in DSL. I am fairly partial to Fluxbox, but maybe more people prefer JWM. If you would like to see something else, let me know. Keep in mid though that what ever is in DSL should have a small footprint.

Distrowatch Link. |

It seems that the download link in Distrowatch.com for DSL leads to the old 50 MB DSL download mirrors. It refers to rc1 but leads to the historic DSL. It would probably be something worth checking up.

Another JWM project |

Hey everyone, I don't know if this is the right place but I'll post it here anyway.
I am currently writing a low dependency quasi session manager for JWM.
It is written exclusively in C. It only uses libbsd and libconfuse as dependicies (for now)
Now you are probably wondering why?
Can't I just use Dex? Yes I could, but I want something more fast, something that could potentially run after every login with no performance impact. As for lxsession, I feel it's too intergrated with lxde.
The bare minimum of what this project hopes to implement is the following:
xdg-user-dirs management
Automatic JWM menu updates
New easy config file for managing the look and feel of jwm
XDG Autostart
Overall, this project aims use ideas from different programs like Dex and JWMKit and combine it to make something extremely lightweight yet improving the JWM experience.
So what is currently done you may ask?
Well I only started several days ago but my .desktop parser for the most part works perfectly. It's fast too, unlike all these python scripts out there, haha.
Right now I'm working on the auto generation config for jwm. The root menu has a few issues where I need to strip %U and %F arguments that require a input. But other that I'm making good progress.
If you guys are interested, I will post a link to my github.
EDIT: Early alpha version is now out for testing!
Please feel free to request any features and report any bugs.

Release Candidate 1 Now Available |

In addition to the changes in Alpha 2, I have made the following adjustments:
- Added "Set Date and Time" widget to Control Center.
- Incorporated DSL's Live USB making script into Control Center.
- Added IP into Conky.
- Incorporated DSL-specific scripts into the automatic menuing system and integrated the system menu into the default menu in JWM and Fluxbox.
- Added the firmware-misc-nonfree package—this should significantly enhance DSL's hardware support.
- Updated the included FAQs with useful information.
- Made available a low-compression build that should perform better in virtual machines.
