I don't think that our target audience are people who cannot make such choices, and even if that would be our desired audience (a feeling which I have with *buntu) than our actual audience is probably another one. Debian is the "Universal OS", isn't it? Or at least it wants to be,... and I'd guess most of our users actually _want_ to have all these choices. > Every choice the user is presented with is a cognitive burden, and must > be justified. Come one... it's about selecting a desktop environment, which most of our user will know anyway. "Cognitive burden"... you're speaking as if monkeys in some NASA lab would be put in front of a computer and have to decide for the right desktop environment in Debian to go to space ;) Cheers, Chris. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
