Hi Jonas, I'm going to make an effort not to top post today :-)
> A few comments:

> Web browser? Email client? Pulseaudio?
Web browser: iceweasel
Email client: I don't use...is icedove good?
Sound: Sound is a little difficult to deal with in Debian. My current
solution is to install "alsa-utils" and run "alsactl init" as root
after first install. Then I use "pavucontrol" as a user. So, this will
all have to be looked into.
> Video player? I recommend mpv.
I have installed:
gecko-mediaplayer
gnome-mplayer
- vlc
but, let's use mpv for now.
> Terminal emulator? I recommend rxvt-unicode-light
I got a thing for xterm...it has a nice option to set borders inside
the window frame. But, I'll put rxvt-unicode-light on the list.
> Should terminal (real tty) be configured?
Yes, especially configure terminal and bashrc. Very important.
> gksu nowadays link against gnome-keyring which can be avoided by instead
> using caja-gksu. Should we do that?
OK, will replace gksu with caja-gksu. I don't like gnome-keyring
either. Actually, I don't like gnome for a lot of things! But, they do
good apps, I'll give them that.
> picked the improved mlocate instead of original locate, and also the

OK...will add. Also, I have a couple of others I should add to fill it
out. Will post to the mailing list when done and we can review again.
Thanks for helping out!
Steve
