Hi,
One nice thing I have with Debian is the possibility to have a really stripped-down install of things. Let's take an example.
I want a cholesterol-free install of GNOME, I 'apt-get install gnome-core' which gives me the bare working minimum of GNOME as a starting point, and then I install what I really need. The same thing applies for KDE, with 'apt-get install kde-core'.
Having such a thing would be great on CentOS. Currently, 'yum groupinstall <group>' tends to install many things.
What do you think?
