My major interest in the -Desktop and Diety projects is the provision for
user-friendly "basic installs" ... so that the average non-linux user can
migrate to debian in a way that doesn't require them to understand unix as
a guru <before installation>.  Has there been any effort to begin
compiling profiles (and putting together decent,  basic package
configurations)?  Is diety not far enough along for this to be practical?
