Now it's only a small mention on this weeks newsletter (and you need eyes like an outhouse rat to see it) but it's there.
Now Distrowatch is a goto place for *Nix and even non-*nix distros - pretty much anything that's not Windows. There are a few Pi distros up there but if you go down the list you'll find they're all very similar. The same critique can be levelled at most of the GNU+Linux distros which, by and large, seem to be virtual clones of each other branched from a very small original base.
DietPi is different. You know it, I know it - we all know it and because Daniel has put so much time into delivering this most excellent distro for our little SBCs, I think the least we can do is stop by and upvote it to get it on the main list.

C'mon guys, throw the man a like (better still, chuck a like AND him some beer money!)

If you find our project or support useful, then we’d really appreciate it if you’d consider contributing to the project however you can.
Donating is the easiest – you can use PayPal or become a DietPi patron.

I'm sending you a another virtual pint later today Fordee mate - and you don't need to thank us, we owe you for this amazing work. It literally is my daily driver for the several servers I run at home. This is purely for practical reasons of course, it's quite capable of running everything I need on a single Pi 3 but I love to amaze my friends with all this goodness.
I'm donating my older Model B (256Mb!) to my friend later this year when I go to see him so he can PiHole his adverts.
Who would have thought that such a modest little machine could be so incredibly useful!? I think it's a shame the Pi Zero is so limited. Pretty much anything I do requires several USB cables hanging off it and that looks a mess. (Mutter, chunter, grumble.)
I know PiHole is a separate project but with DietPi it's enough to make a PiZero into a PiHole appliance with the minimum of effort and that alone is enough to justify it to me.
