Why 180 megs? (i'm not suggesting we attempt to fill it)
DSL is designed to fit on a biz-card cd (50 mb).
DSL-N should be made for mini-cds (180 mb). Cool

Website suggestion: a side by side comparison of DSL and DSL-N; app for app, feature for feature.

I dislike the idea of a fundamental limit. It's just too limiting. I'd rather the admin's just decide on each app, and include them if they think that they are worthy.

Stay with the "small is beautiful" philosophy, but don't adopt arbitrary limit.

DSL loses some usability points, compared to other small distros, because it is so small. No argument; that was the design goal.

DSL-N can be more competitive, where space is available.

An arbitrary limit is unnessary. Flash drives have come way down in price. I like the developers reasoning: small with a lot of utility.

This week mini-cd,
Next week flsh-drive,
Week after compact-flash,
Next month mini-dvd,
I can't see any advantage to limiting yourself to a particular size/platform...
