Re: Debian-lite



That's why the name Debian-lite makes me sick. It reminds me of those
commercial products where you have to pay for a full version of the
product.

If the name is to be changed at all, it should be 'complete' or
'universal'. I actually prefer to keep the current name unless research
shows that 'Debian95' or 'Debian-NT' will sell better. :)
