Is the a 'contrarian' Debian install available?
I did not use the term "alternate" as that already has a 
specific meaning in this context.
I also used "contrarian" instead of "experimental" to 
emphasize I'm looking for something aimed at a different 
target audience.
My experiments have demonstrated that the Debian installer 
team has producer a very robust product which meets the 
needs/desires of a very large percentage of its intended 
audience.
Having recently read the announcement of apt-offline version 
1.2, I think something I'd like would be possible.
What I would like to have:
  CLI, dial up on a full analog modem (USB connection), 
WiFi connectivity, apt-offline.
Options I would likely download almost immediately:
  X11, a very simple GUI (NOT a 'desktop _environment_), 
Tcl/Tk & gnuplot (I've existing projects).
TIA
