You should ;-) Install the things you need over time. You'll learn which packages you want, there are tools to find what you're looking for (apt-cache search, the package search utility at the Debian website). Ask on list if you're stuck trying to find a particular package or resolve some odd issue. In general though, it's a good idea to know what you have (dpkg --show-selections), what you want, and what you don't want. -- Karsten M.
