Yes, unfortunately. We need to focus on getting UGR launched. We will
try to incorporate a lite release for the Oneiric release.

Title:
Gnome Light Version
Status in Ubuntu Gnome Remix Metapackages:
Opinion
Bug description:
When I was a Gentoo user, in another life, they had a package called
gnome-light. gnome-light was a minimalist installation of GNOME. It
included only packages needed to run the most basic Gnome Desktop
(nautilus, gnome-panel, gdm and their dependencies). No browsers, no
email clients, no chat program, no games, almost no desktop
application was installed in gnome-light. The idea was that users
would choose which desktop application they'd install and only the
ones they needed. For example, back then people preferred Galeon over
Epiphany or Thunderbird over Evolution and so on. In other words,
people installed packages as they needed them. It was a system
administrator's dream come true.
Now Gentoo's package management system is a lot more flexible than
Debian's as far as I'm concerned so I don't even know if this is
possible. However, if this is possible with Debian, it'll be nice if
there was a Gubuntu-light CD or a gnome-light meta package. This
package would include only packages needed to run a functioning Gnome
Shell, nothing more. Administrators will then have the option of
choosing which email client, web browser, word processor or desktop
applications in general they want to install.
