you know, the BSDs have operated with this mentality for some time. a pretty complete base system that's easy to install (one web server, one mail server, one inetd, one version of each basic tool, etc) and packages for extra stuff. I remember doing a tiny OpenBSD & gnome install on one of Jamie's old laptops (~200 MB harddisk IIRC) at a clinic a couple years ago. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
