Hi Everyone,
What do you think of the idea of having a debian desktop
release real soon? In order to get it out real soon the
only difference would be a different set of packages or
additional set of packages installed by default. I would
ask the install team, Joey Hess, to ask during
installation if this is for a server or
desktop(unstable). (I'm sure there is a better way of
asking that.) If it is for a desktop then the default
installation would include gnome and KDE.
There are a bunch of other simple changes we could try
for example soften the security model. Debian does a
bunch of things to prevent a normal user from abusing the
system. Details: root can't access the screen without
executing xauth (blah) command. On a single user system
is this desired? Perhaps we could eliminate the need to
execute xauth. Do you have other simple changes to
propose?
I think having a desktop release would generate lots of
interest in the desktop and help get it off the ground.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,

Hello:
This is my first post in this list.
I'm a colaborator in debianpt.org, from portugal and there
we are starting a desktop section.
The goal, for now, is to develop an instalation script in
shell script for install a debian desktop.
the adreess is this:
http://www.debianpt.org/~desktop/DesktopInstall
and the *2* are the updated and untested.
simply ... it's apt-get install `all needed packages`
but this script does a little configuration ... changes
the Default theme from gnome and we are trying to make
changes to chage the gdm.conf.
I'm sorry, but it is not in english.
