1. Not easy to configure.

it's a full package, very computable with each application within.

1. There is another alternatives, like openSER which works only as a SIP server , no IAX supports as far as i know and not a PBX.
2. There is also openPBX which is a fork of Asterisk due to some license issue related to that Asterisk is a dual license " GPL, Digium License] AFAIK, but i didn't give both a real try and time.

openMSX is a MSX , MSX2 and MSX2+ emulator. for people who don`t know what is MSX . It is a old computer since the early of 80's and check this link to know more about MSX systems

what really I like a lot about openmsx the great support for many MSX brands. you can get the System ROM for any MSX computer and run it with openMSX. as you can see in the screenshot i'm running MSX2 with Philips Machine. you can get another ROM for another machine and run it also.

it dose`t have save feature or dump for current session.

With openMSX you can run your favorite games / programs you used to play with 15 years ago or may be more . it supports disk images , cartage images and cassettes tape images.which is amazing i think i still have some cassettes taps i can digitize them to wav and use it."If it`s legal"

DamnSmallLinux (DSL) is a linux distro built on Knoppix. It's current version 2.3 using kernel 2.4.26. It comes as LiveCD but could be installed in HDD. DSL comes with Fluxbox and jvm windows managers.

1. Very lightweight distro
2. It starts with X windows (Fluxbox) occupying only 24MB of memory.

With FUSE it is possible to implement a fully functional filesystem in a userspace program. Features include:

It follows the sweet concept of "If you can do it in userspace, don't put in the kernel" and I really support and love that concept (udev anyone?).

Everything and I can't wait until someone (maybe me?) impl a nice subversion versioning filesystem.
