re: Debian-lite



In regards to the naming problem.  Might it not be easier to decide
which packages are to go into which sub-distribution.  Or maybe just
come up with a sentence describing each sub-distribution.  Then define
the packages.  And finally name each:

1) Single-user, minimal install that may be useful, games/no games.
2) Mail-client, modem stuff, web browsing, mail, news, etc.
3) Internet-client, network stuff, web browsing, mail, news, etc.
4) News server.
5) Mail server.
6) X-based.
7) ...

Of course then other decisions need to be made.  Are each of these
packages 'standalone?'  Or do you need to install the smallest
functional sub-dist first?  And then add to that.
