[ 8< discussion about usefulness of specific packages cut 8< ] An idea would be to create a one-cd distribution of the most used packages. The popularity contest (apt-get install popularity-contest) scores how often programs are used and installed, and would be a good ground for such a CD. http://people.debian.org/~apenwarr/popcon/index.html For example, we see that 15 people use XBill regularly, whereas 121 people installed it but not used it recently :) Ofcourse, the statistical population are those who have installed the popularity-contest package, but it gives some indication of package usages.
