I wouldn't advertise that as a strength. DSL works as a livecd (or 
liveusb) and can be installed to a hard disk. Once it's there, 
supposedly it's plain debian.

I imagine people might be more interested in testing if you bragged 
about what sets this new distribution apart from DSL, Xubuntu, etc.
