Yes, it seemed simple enough at the time :(

Ok

The first thing I would like to do is somehow benchmark the efficency of SHMFS
and swap as opposed to the traditional Linux setup.  It is so radical and
inexpensive as to be very inviting.

Secondly I would like to write swap and lvm scripts tuned for various amounts
of ram, and ultimately, various file systems.  NTFS should at some time be
conquered by the penguin.  It would also be nice to compile raid into the
kernel.

Also important to me, is hardware detection, especially ethernet.  This is
accomplished in at least two other CD based distributions.

There have been a few requests for DL build kits from the linux society, we
truly intend to put it into production because of its simplicity.

The Linux Society has also bonded with a group that supplies PCs to poor
families in a town near NYC.  They too are intrigued by DL as an educational
tool for teenagers wishing to enter systems operations.  They cannot, by the
way, legally distribute Microsoft.
