XFCE ("The cholesterol free desktop") is a full desktop system and is

shows up as a category in Synaptic, so you shouldn't have much trouble

I agree with your points, but it's rude to sneer.
LVM should work the same way for both distros, but just in case, you might
want to do the initial setup in Squeeze. I don't know if anything has

Would "politically correct" in this context be a perjorative for "polite"?
It's one thing to complain about efforts to accomodate the political
sensibilities of others and to hide one's own, but quite a few people
question (what's obvious to one person
isn't necessarily obvious to anyone else). And people can be tactfully
told to RTM (to include reading FAQs) when it's appropriate to do so. In
