Good idea, or maybe we should have preselected lists with just one type
of program for each task for the recommended install Just as an example
you could have a classic selection for those who like to stay in the 70s
or 80s. This would include just mwm or twm as window managers for
example.
We could even have a Linus Torvalds selection etc etc. ...and hope that
we don't have more selections to select from than packages.
You could easily find out from a poll which program would belong to
which category.
