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.

Encrypted email, flash player web, image, music, some games, irc client, word process, presentation, etc. I hope somebody takes an interest to this idea. yours, -- Scotty Fitzgerald ============ A computer geek haiku for you....
