i believe it's simply insane to require installing collectd, libvirt, libxen, lvm2, openjdk, rrdtool and entire Gnome in order to use FreeRADIUS! it's either a very bad joke or someone did a horrible and absolutely stupid mistake. could you please explain since when Gnome is required for FreeRADIUS to operate? it's crazy! libvirt and libxen - you must be joking!? i see Debian slowly but steadily becomes what RedHat 5 was in years 1997-1999 in terms of package quality
