Everything except for Bruce's Gnome requirement.
I was looking at SimplyMepis yesterday and it's like Xandros: a consistently
outdated version of the KDE desktop. If Xandros and SimplyMepis could
somehow have their special installer script sauce pegged to a regular deb
repository (for Sarge or Sid), and net installed via a minimalist CD that
pulls the latest packages, that would excite me in ways that beer never
could. But then really all of the work that is SimplyMepis (and a lot of
Xandros, minus the licensed goodies) would just be a code contribution to the
new, easy standard Debian installer, not a separate distro.
