After downloading and evaluating dsl0.9.0 for a few hrs now, ive come to the conclusion, its a fantastic os made much better.
The inclusion of firefox as a default browser, must have scraped a few knuckles as it was wedged in (10m on a 50m os) but it was worth it, this brings dsl to all those people who cant tell the difference between browsers (like my mother) as it performs flawlessly. Much of the space was donated by the removal of xmms, which has been replaced by a sweet lil 6 button gui fronting 2 command line players (mpg123 and ogg123) providing a random play function for files in ~/media .
Obviously there are limitations, no next or back buttons or track info, and it doesnt seem to recurse the directories, but in my eyes it is still a stroke of genious. another point is that to access other drives (no doubt holding music) the media directory must be replaced by a link to the music drive.
Im guessing work has continued on this, there is no real reason why the DSL media player cannot be polished to display the track info spat out by the player, the media directory could be chosen, etc without taking much in the way of space.
beautifuly done!
