This is one of my favorite desktop distributions, even if it isn't meant for a desktop. It fits most of my minimalist needs. I think it would be my first choice if I could just figure out how to setup full disk encryption.
Yeah that's the one... my job requires me to port the Linux kernel to various embedded devices and architectures (let's just say I frequent elinux.org a lot) so work often overlaps into my personal hobbies...
