No, not at all. That is not what I was trying to say. KDE and GNOME were examples of something that did not happen overnight. They proved worthy of becoming a task. Would you accept KDE as a task, if it was started yesterday? > Since Debian does already ship other useful tasks, > that seems a bit specious. The other tasks consist of far less (and rather obvious) choices.

It most certainly can be done, but we need to clarify the goals. How light should it be? Should it be limited by a certain number of megabytes? GNOME/KDE-lib-free or not? etc. Let us create a project on alioth, compose a team, and see how it goes. I am all for it. And while we are at it, looking into existing lightweight distros (especially Debian derivatives) might be a good idea. Their choices are already somewhat tested and could give us some guidelines. Regards, Linas P.S. I still am for separating GNOME and KDE tasks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
