For some time now, and for work as well as home office

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
