How about a lightweight desktop environment (it would just come with
twm/fvwm or similar plus a terminal - I'm sure this exists already)?
Does it need to be a minimal GNOME or KDE?
Rich.
I think that would correspond more or less to the basic-desktop group
which already exists? But no, my idea would be to provide a foundation
for a setup based on Desktop Environment XY.
