Think them as Meta-packages. Well this solution is not for user who can run command line "apt-get install ...", its for them who want to install it using just ONE CLICK. There will not be any dependency problem WHY - ? because I am creating these bundles on freshly installed system. I am no going to Install anything on this system. So I am minimum number of packages on my system which you will be having. Let me repeat again. Step 1) Install Ubuntu Step 2) Click on this 3GB bundle and this will install almost all software which you ( office guy, programmer, engineer, students) need. I might create smaller package something like 600MB and so too. ... that it is.. why the big deal ? -- LUG@IITD - http://lug-iitd.org/Footer
