If the MTA is set up propperly, we might re-consider using popularity-contest to have an objective base for package selection. Of course, one could also start a web based poll - or use the rating system of Arnt Oves linuxsignpost. Personally, I'd drop koffice and TeX but go for one of those that I installed recently: (I used aptitude install - some packages included further dependencies, some where installed or not available): aptitude necessary aranym not necessary audacity usefull blender attractive for workstation profile fluxbox not necessary gramps not necessary htop usefull for admin icewm usefull for ltsp kaffe free java kdeaccessibility usefull kdeaddons usefull kdeaddons-doc-html kdebindings kdebase-doc kdebase-i18n obsolete? kdegraphics meta package kdemultimedia meta package kdepim kdepim-kio-plugins kdepim-libs kdeutils kdewebdev kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686-smp for servers kpovmodeler extra ksimulus usefull kturtle usefull mozilla-browser includes mozilla composer mozilla-firefox-de-de German locale mpg not necessary, some still use it nload usefull for admin ntop usefull for admin qt3-* for c++ development scribus extra tcpdump for servers vice not necessary (c64) wine usefull in hybrid areas xfce4 not really needed
