Multi-seat PC and other
anachronisms probably have to go away.

Exactly what is meant by "Multi-seat PC"?
I'm working on defining a heavily customized personal installation of Debian. One of the *STRONG* underlying assumptions is the the machine would only ever be used by a specific individual. One of the underlying motivations is personally understanding the the guts of Linux.

About anachronism... you should read about what is the minitel*,
and then, consider thinking about how most people uses their
computers ;)

Is there any current survey of people actually use computers today?
My personal usage would be email, web browsing, and some number crunching. I would explicitly avoid installing anything that would act as a server when connected to a network.
