List of the packages that we need to include in ToriOS
Minimal, Simple, Fast, Small and Gives you a freedom of choice = these are the backbones of ToriOS. These are the features of ToriOS. These are the other names for ToriOS. Having that said, we need very few packages.

The idea of ToriOS is to give the user all the freedom to build his/her own system the way they like and desire. We shall not force them to use anything but give them the freedom to do that themselves (and that is why this system might not be the prefect option for very newcomers to Linux). For that, ToriOS needs just the basic packages so the system will work completely and perfectly. But anything extra? that is for the user to add 'after installation'.

For a login manager, these are our real options:
1) LXDM - sort of unmaintained
2) SLiM: mainained, looks great - see https:/
3) LightDM: used by Ubuntu, but probably not lightweight enough
4) None: use startx and settings file -> see http://
5) Others (note: many unmaintained): https:/
If everyone is fine with these options, I can setup a Google Form. Feel free to discuss them first on the mailing list.

I would assert that the requirement to be 'user friendly' conflicts with the desire to include 'minimal packages'. WindowsXP users will want a drop-in-and-go replacement OS. Let the discussion begin.
