I thought we were talking about a low end machine. I wouldn't install
stuff I will certainly not need. I fact I wouldn't do that on any
machine.
Weeks from now, when all this mess is fixed, you will get all the
drivers by default, what are you gonna do then? Delete each one that is
not the one you use?
There are other ways of saving space (xserver-xorg-core) and increasing
the speed of an old box.
If indeed it's the only one, what's wrong with .xinitrc? it's simple
and you don't have to learn 'update-alternatives. Besides
with .xinitrc or .xsession you can include apps to start when you
enter the X system
My point was that it's not necessary with only one wm installed. "If it
ain't broke don't fix it". (Don't know where that comes from).
Maybe not, but .xinitrc is something you use in any linux distro or bsd,
what if you're not using Debian? AFAIK, it is the only one using
update-alternatives.
