Yes, for the most common stuff. Still, if someone does not know english
well enough to explain a problem or solution, it should be possible
to ask and answer in different language.

A very good idea, I think, but I still prefer to be able to use
other
non-free-but-freely-distributable-for-commercial-and-noncommercial-use
programs as well, if they provide functionality that is not yet
available in Free Software products, if the license is acceptable.

OpenOffice is missing in your list of programs to remove for a
"completeley Free Software" CD, for the same reason you recommended
gimp-nonfree for removal. Possibly also KDE.

Could you explain why tgif is on the list of programs to remove?
tgif is in Debian main.
