Debian as is.

Some solution for DSL etc. wouldn't be bad, but today most people have
Ethernet of a dedicated DSL router I guess, so it's less urgent than a
couple of years ago I think.

That might be an important task for the GNU system, but AFAIK it's only
a matter of debugging/finding the culprit, not sure whether it merits a
GSoC project really.
