this is a complete minimalist one liner:

apt-get install fluxbox xterm mozilla xmms xchat gaim xserver-xfree86 gpm xbase-clients xfonts-100dpi xfonts-base xscreesaver linuxlogo
xpenguins

You can't be serious, listing both xterm and mozilla and claiming it's
minimalist? First, rxvt is _much_ lighter than xterm (about half to
two-thirds the size). Second, using "mozilla" in your apt-get will pull
in mozilla-browser, mozilla-mailnews, and mozilla-psm. Phoenix (even at
v0.3) is a much better choice, but if you're looking for a solution that
uses only Debian pacakges, try Galeon or Skipstone. Third, drop the
amusements linuxlogo and xpenguins.

ok... what i meant to say is irssi, mpg321, lynx (installed), micq, and cmatrix (no amusements = BO-RING!).

no X.

is that better? :-)

i was speaking in terms of the number of programs - 1 of each is all ya need - not necessarily their size.

silly people. :-D
