Let me see if I understand this - You want a lightweight desktop
respin of Fedora. Rahul makes a (good) suggestion on how you can get
what you want faster, but it involves some effort on your part. Your
response is a personal attack Rahul, and condemning Fedora/Redhat
for daring to suggest that you put some effort into getting what you
want instead of handing it to you on a platter? Because that is hte
way you are coming across!
