I know of something used in Debian GNU+Linux that sounds is somewhat
(it
is a little of a stretch) what you are talking about (called
taskselect). If lets you decide what you want to do with the computer,
like being a web server or a dial-up server. Is that more of what you
would want?
That is exactly what he wants.
is it ? To me it sounded more as if he really wanted *all* packages
(well, as many as possible taking conflicts into account) to be
installed. So e.g. *all* editors (vim, vigor, vile, emacs, xemacs,
nano, joe, jed, ee, nedit, kedit, etc.) would be installed.
The idea of having "task" bundles as outlined above sounds nice to me.
The idea of just installing everything OTOH seems pointless to me --
where is the sense in installing hundreds and thousands of packages
when for most of them you don't even know what they are *good for*, not
even talking about how many of them one would actually use...
Just my two cents,
Max
