I'd say anyone of you in this thread have ever used Debian, don't you?
For if you did, you would know that all that kind of "advantages" are the Debian's bread and butter.
You just install the "core" Debian, when asked about packages you'd want to install (and which method to choose them will you use, dpkg or metapackages) you just skip and end up with quite a meagre distribution.
So you want an email server? Just apt-get install postfix and all dependencies will follow.
Do you want a LAMP? apt-get install apache-ssl php4 php4-mysql mysql
There you go!!!
And again: Well, what does this new distribution "concept" really add??
