Just a quick comment regarding the Appendix D "Suggested Packages". Your recommendation aren't consistent with Debian. * openoffice, gimp, ekiga, pigin... are installed by default[1] so there is no need to explain how to install them. * Debian has chosen to install openoffice rather that abiword and gnumeric, so it's awkward that your first example is to install it. Also the wiki pages http://wiki.debian.org/WindowsEquivalent aims to list equivalent application, *in* Debian. It isn't complete yet. Great guide, thanks Franklin [1] reminder, to list package installed by default (without dependencies), use tasksel install -t desktop aptitude search ~t^desktop\$ ~t^gnome-desktop$ The base system is: aptitude search ~prequired ~pimportant ~pstandard A few other package could be auto-installed like popcon and hardware related packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
