Hi folks,
This goes back to during the wheezy release cycle. There was a little
discussion around a change in tasksel [1], but rather too late in the
day for the change to make sense. Now we have rather more time, I
feel. Let's change the default desktop for installation to xfce.
This would mean:
* Make the tasksel change stick
* Tweak CD and installer builds:
+ change what happens with no desktop selected to use xfce instead
of Gnome (netinst, DVD, BD etc.)
+ Add an explicitly-named Gnome CD#1
+ Remove the explicitly-named XFCE CD#1
Pros:
* CD#1 will work again without size worries
* Smaller, simpler desktop
* Works well/better on all supported kernels (?)
* Does not depend on replacing init
Cons:
* <please fill in here>
