For some time now, and for work as well as home office & DAW, I install the absolutely minimum debian (not even the desktop initially), install mingetty and set it up for auto login and single user - there is no one else going to use my machines! I then use apt-get to install synaptic, openbox and rox-filer. This automagically installs all the desktop stuff I*actually* need and none of the cruft. I set up sudo for synaptic, halt and reboot (and other specialised stuff depending on the intended environment). For the basic desktop I finally create a .profile containing just startx, and a .config/openbox/autostart containing rox -S & One reboot and I'm into a fully functional minimum desktop, after which I use synaptic to pull in whatever else I need, depending on what the machine is going to be used for - I compile specialist stuff of course.
I always get happy when I read things like this. 5 steps and you have a great base to roll out your own Linux audio setup on. Thanks for sharing Will!
