I think a big part of the growth is because of the MyDSL system, and the hard labor put into the repository. That's Robert's brain child, and the depth of packages is all about community and Kent's hard work.First of all great distro. I've tried some others and none of them have utilized such a small amount of space to create an amazingly useful package. I also enjoy being able to shut down and reboot in about 2 minutes... as opposed to 5+.
And thanks to all who have posted helps and how-to's in this forum. I've already learned so much about Linux just by reading and doing the things in the forum.
Now for a little challenge... what about creating a net restore script. A user could back-up his/her settings and whatnot via an ftp script to their website, and then on reboot wget the backup for a restore. That way a person could have their settings with them no matter where they are, as long as they have a working internet connection. Just a thought.mmmm the idea is good, but I think that internet settings are among the setting you're just backing up.How do you connect to the web and retrieve your backup without setting your ethernet before?
as for the ranking: no doubt sooner or later DSL will rank even higher. This distro rules!
