DSL will boot up into the "desktop" no problem on the WebDT ... but the hardware needs to be configured (wireless, bluetooth, desktop resolution, virtual keyboard and touchpoint).
Since I was working on NimbleX at the time, I didn't bother with DSL any further... but from angrymeats last post, it seems as if he's close to getting it done.
The other "mini" distro that looks promising is AntiX (
http://antix.mepis.org/index.php/Main_Page). This build is meant for really old systems, so I'm guessing this would really "fly" on the WebDT.
I created a USB Boot Disk of AntiX, but it wasn't able to boot on the WebDT .... it kept on saying "unable to find Mephis filesystem" ... which was really weird because everything is on the USB stick.
Personally I think the ideal linux build for the WebDT is a very slim core system that boots into a desktop with just the hardware configured, extremely minimal ... then individuals can add software as they want to.
