Bug#427694: RFP: icewm-damn-small-desktop complete lightweight desktop smaller than GNOME
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
I would like to see a meta-package with this title that has a complete
desktop. "apt-get install gnome" on a fresh base debian system will
add about 790mb of software, without any meaningful apps. I use these
package names, and get more functionality, a faster system, and an
uncluttered menu, by installing the following packages. I think it
could end up being a hit if somebody who knows how to do metapackages
right would do this.

it's a pretty good list of packages, less than 790mb of files.
Encrypted email, flash player web, image, music, some games, irc
client, word process, presentation, etc. I hope somebody takes an
interest to this idea.
