You'll need to install a few "dev" packages to be able to compile anything (see sticky at the top of the forum for details on what you need)
..just to get you started.

DSLs cool, i use it on my old 486dx4 laptop/doorstop for my son to mess around on, in theory you can build it up to be a full whopping debian distro.
