   NexentaOS uses ZFS which is a good thing to show off actual ZFS usage 
though
   that might mean not being able to boot on low memory systems.

   SchilliX is using 750MB which can be reduced by adding in compression 
in addition
   to the boot time benefits.

   If the Blastwave packages are not already compressed, they can be put 
in one compressed
   image as well.

   This should allow all the stuff + documentation to fit in one DVD.

Moinak.
