I just wondered how far your understanding of these goes? Only the base environment, or also those applications that don't really belong to - for example - the official Gnome distribution, but are needed to make the computer useful. I am thinking here of evolution, one of the browsers (galeon or (better and) epiphany) and gnucash (which has a RC bug. help. help. :-)). Don't know much about KDE, but I guess there are also applications not belonging to "the" KDE, but still should go with it. Also, please include openoffice in this list. Your list certainly is right, but it seems to overlook the normal office application user (or the system administrator, that has to set up large quantities of boxes for the normal office application user), so I tried to be his advocate here. Of course, my additions still don't make the list complete. Maybe the right way to do this is not to look at all the packages that come to one's mind and think if they are "very important", but to look at the different "use cases" that come to ones mind, and have a look at what they need. Some that I think if are the office worker, the web developer/master, the software developer (including the debian developer, a very important user group to debian :-)), the one with the responsibility for security, the designer, and so on. This might be the best way to check how good we are in our aim to be the "universal OS". nomeata -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner e-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Homepage: http://www.joachim-breitner.de JID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C | ICQ#: 74513189 Geekcode: GCS/IT/S d-- s++:- a--- C++ UL+++ P+++ !E W+++ N-- !W O?
