Why does the Debian distribution need so many applications? It
doesn't, it is nice to have them available though.
It may depend upon one perception of sluggish. I find Fedora's Gnome
desktop to be sluggish on an ATHLON 2000 XP. I tried Ubuntu with XFCE
and while the desktop loaded fine comm

I had considered releasing an extra-light version as well but it
seemed several other distros had that covered and it would be too much
to try to maintain too many different versions. Is it needed?
I suppose everyone has a different idea of what is functional as an
OS on older hardware. I h
I would expect a smaller package list would help in that respect.
But one of the issues people on debian-user have mentioned on low-memory
(and low cpu) hardware is the long wait for apt-get and friends to run
(if at all).

I do have this ability. I am lacking in the programming skills
needed for the packaging and bug fixing. I can read most code and make
some small changes, but my programming skills are mainly in C# and a
little Java. I know just enough C++ to be dangerous.

If you do not know what applications are on which CD, or even what you
need it becomes a little more difficult. I am trying to make it a
little easier for these
persons. I just went through all of this trying to install IceWM on an
older machine, so I thought to try to make it a little easier

No, I do not want to create Damn Small Linux. This project has different
aims, one of which is to not be a livecd distribution since DSL and
Morphix have covered those bases nicely. An additional goal of the
project is to ensure that users of Debian have what they need should they
need or choose t
Hi, upfront: Bernd's earlier reply on DSL is probably the best advice.

Hi,
I have recently started a project to create a custom Debian
distribution DebIce which provides a desktop with very low hardware
requirements. I would appreciate any advice you could give me
