User Feedback :: Distrowatch has yet another article about DSL

I am very interested in reading your review. There has been some great press lately, but they often only scrape the surface and often get things wrong. Like when Linux Format said DSL requires 64M of ram to run, that just left me scratching my head.

Often enough they just don't pay close attention - they've got deadlines to meet and so on, so they just conjure figures up.. "Ah, DSL runs on our test system with 64Mb RAM, so it must require 64Mb to run!"
They usually compare distros like DSL to full-blown ones like Knoppix and Fedora, when it's obvious that that's an unfair comparison.

They skim the docs like some users do and review old distros and highlight problems that have already been addressed.

If someone writes some docs I'd be willing to edit. I have done this for many open source projects since 1998.
