Hi Denis and thanks for posting!

Personally, I think we should do two versions.

- small version for thin client environment
- full version development box

Small can be core and just deal with issues of sound, networking, etc.
Full can have more developer tools such as apache, mysql,
build-essential, etc.

I don't think we should get too hung up on which is the best web
browser, mail client or text editor and just choose basic ones with
the assumption that the user will upgrade if needed.

The smallest Debian desktop environment is Xfce, so I think there is a
need for a lighter weight WM. Fluxbox is not easy to install for a
typical user, so there is also a need there too.
