How difficult would it be to migrate XFCE into a distribution iso like DSL?

I don't care much for Fluxbox.
EDIT: WHOA ... scrap that..

If you really want try Knoppix, that will give you a pretty neat desktop experience.

I suggest you go with Fedora or SuSe, they have far more upto date application support, and nearly every open source dev makes RPM's for them. That is one of the major problems with Ubuntu, it seems like almost nobody can be bothered making up to date packages for it.

heh teckies snob it.

How about debian, I've got the disk space. I'll have to nick my parent Credit card because I can't download it. Also are there any specification documents for DSL I'd really like to know how it works internally. /man ?

Debian is a pretty good distro, it will require a lot of RTFM, but if it is learning you want to do then go for it!

I don't think that Microsuck can officially advise you to steal your mom's credit card.  But I can.  If you're gonna pay, though, try SuSE.

Just ask permision and pay them back the money - that's what I always used to do.

Why not go for FreeBSD if one wants to do RTFM?

The documentation in FreeBSD is FAR better than in ANY GNU/Linux system out there ... well organized, man pages for all the essentials etc.

Any one tried Vector Linux? I love the idea of a turbo speed OS.

Debian I would like because It has *everything*.
