A very good point, BTW. My daily driver has no synaptic, for example, and yet it is a far cry from a minimal install. I'm not pointing it out to boast around; rather I'm trying to drive home the point that the needs served by a distro like Debian are extremely diverse (Debian is, yet again the extreme in that camp, that's one of the reasons that there are so many derivatives; that might also explain the long and sometimes difficult discussion processes when a change touches lots of the distro's parts). This is something pretty difficult to grasp for us "mere users". Surely most of folks are using the computer the way *I* do? Well, guess what. This is, BTW, why I love Debian. Cheers -- t
