It contradicts one of the fundamental tenets of tasks. OTOH aptitude lets one select the curent desktop task and then go in and remove the kde or most of the gnome stuff. > - K.I.S.S. X environment This is probably best served by the existing X Window System task + letting people choose their window manager, either as they could in potato, or more likely via aptitude, since aptitude will be the main way the tasks are presented to the user in woody, and you can easily go up and find a window manager etc at the same time. It could alternativly be used to replace the existing X Window System task with one that includes a number of common window managers and their associated packages, as aptitude also lets you select a task and then drill into it and unselect components. > - Multimedia system Isn't multimedia a standard part of a desktop environment these days? > - Base Internet client (Console) > - Base Internet Client (X11) > Base Internet client (Console) [task-netclient-console]: > w3m-ssl, telnet, ssh, lftp, yafc, wget, mutt, slrn, irsii, leafnode > > Base Internet Client (X11) [task-netclient-x]: > Mozilla (and Galeon), xchat-gnome, ksirc, gftp-gtk, pavuk, prozgui These might just make sense as a combined task. Note that I recently added an office environment task (mostly the gnome-office metapackage, at least until/if openoffice gets into the distro). -- see shy jo
