Obviously that's what we all do, I think.  My point was more
philosophical than asking for help, tho ;-)

I just find it amazing that the kernel has grown to be so big as to be
comparable to a complete unix distribution on a workstation of some
years ago (with GUI, compilers, ...).

And to a large extent they work identically (same windowing system, same
editor, same 1600x1200 screen resolution, ...).

Anyway... you can return to your regular daily Debianising,
