You are correct. DSL hasn't had an update in 4 years. If I had any skill with this stuff (I don't) I would be tempted to take the last version of DSL and update it as far as is possible. I wouldn't hold myself to the 50 meg limit though I would try to keep it under 100 meg. I agree that DSL-N has never worked right. As I recall the browser included with Slitaz 3.0-xvesa could not handle Javascript so it would not work on the websites I use the most. Other Linux implementations that are using Xorg can be made to give me a 1024x768 screen on my Toshiba laptop and have browsers (Seamonkey, Firefox or Opera) that handle Javascript perfectly. They are very slow however.
