There was an interview with Robert Shingledecker (http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20090323), creator of Tiny Core Linux on DistroWatch. In it he mentions some really... spicy information about DSL, of which he used to be the a lead developer. Interesting, and most definitely controversial, this is one good read. BUY NOW! ;)

Having now read his side, I'm on the fence about it all. =/

Interesting read. Not managed to read all of it, but the part about DSL was interesting.
This is obviously just his opinion & it might be interesting to see comments from John Andrews, but if he is as allusive as Robert says, I doubt we will see that.

Very interesting read. I feel bad for the guy, and for DSL. he is still listed as a contributer on wikipedia...

I just went on thir forums, and John is the the only admin listed on every forum group, not to mention only 72 people were visiting the forums, and only one was a member.

It so sad how DSL is being maintained if this story is true, Its the 15th most downloaded distro listed on Distrowatch.

Yeah. Well, if this kind of thing keeps going on, I think it will take a nosedive from 15.
