Someone just submitted a vm the other day. On the other hand, it might  
be useful to have the choice between different distributions, this one  
was based on FC4.

It's not *too* large, but obviously the smaller, the better. If you  
could strip it down even more, that would be great. Does this Ubuntu  
version have a desktop at all?

I also played with DSL in the past, but made the same experience. I  
found it hard to add new packages not provided through MyDSL or to  
even upgrade to newer DSL versions. But the could be only me, because  
I didn't digg deep enough.
