-SkinnyDebbie is what I am calling a "distribution flavorizer"--a set of scripts and small packages that when run and installed will configure a standard Linux distribution (a Debian Network Install in this case) to match a given target "flavor", using as much as possible the packages that are already part of and maintained by that distribution. +

-Why make SkinnyDebbie a "flavorizer" instead building an independent distribution? Simplea "flavorizer" approach lets SkinnyDebbie be 98% pure Debian, and that lets users benefit directly from the security updates, miscellaneous improvements, and community support of a major distribution. +
