The site looks good. I like your use of "small is beautiful". Got that
from a series of books by E.F. Schumacher:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_is_Beautiful 

In reference to http://www.home.no/mlinux/ae.htm:

Is using svga actually smaller than using tinyX (kdrive)
servers?

When you look at all the dependencies and the various apps to
fulfill the same functions (and _their_ dependencies), and take
into account that X has built-in networking capabilities that an
svga user must obtain from screen (which is non-graphical) this
is not at all a cut&dry question.

In fact, I'm pretty sure that the tinyX approach is smaller.

Shall we do the arithmetic and see?
