Slackware (and its forks), Crux (and its forks including ArchLinux) and source-based distros (gentoo, smgl) rule because they're simple (well, except gentoo). Debian is too automated and has (imho) too much strange scripts. ArchLinux minimal install is ~100Mb, but full dwm-environment can be <250Mb. Same with slack

Hi, I, don't see a reason why it is necessary to start a new distribution. If you install a minimal debian by selecting nothing when tasksel asks, you get a minimal system where everyone can install what he/she wants. For an minimal dwm-system an aptitude install x-window-system-core and a few x-libs to compile dwm should work. Perhaps add build-essential, xterm, and an editor and the system is ready for use. --
