I am begining to see the pattern .-)
However, these are two different things (for me).
It is one thing having one or more "editors", "e-mail progs" "games" ...,
and completely another thing ending up with two servers who try to do the
same job.
First thing is nice for most of the people (I hope... I like it!), while
the second represents Absolute Evil(tm)
I am not sure how difficult would it be to make a "minimalistic-expert-install", where
you would be prompted to choose one
of several similar programs during install. Looks like a lot of hacking to
me. OK, noted for later discussion.
I can easily imagine some kind of "minimal authomatised install", where
you end up with only one-of-a-kind (one editor, one e-mail client...),
whichever we think is "the best". Would this be interesting for anyone?
(Obvious problem is that MY favorite editor happens to be...
whatever. Pick up 10 people, and you get at least 12 different "best
editors")
