Some people consider the desktop to *be* the system, so I was just going
along with that premise. You can choose to just have a window manager,
(e.g. fvwm) instead of a DE to be even more lean. I'm referring to
diskspace and unnecesary resources when I talk about a minimum desktop.

Also my comment was just pointing out that if you
have synaptic
installed you can't honestly claim that you have a "truly minimum
desktop"
?? Synaptic is an app, like Ardour is an app. It is nor really a part of
the desktop. The desktop is that pile of apps that are started at login
and stop at logoff... They are running all the time. The update manager is
a different story.
