The main purpose would be to have my current real simple setup
(X+Ion+zsh+Emacs+gcc) into the GNU.

And maybe I could begin to help in making
development/packaging/whatever.

All I need is at leat a shell, emacs (and stuff that comes with it:
bbdb, gnus, ...) and also a simple w3m (my main browser here).

Is it possible then ??
