Legend has it that Slackware is snappier and more compact, but debian
/does/ have undeniable strengths. It's moot if we go 100% thin client,
though.

It could be if you've never seen linux and you chose "Windows user" on
first log-in. I'd be more inclined to go the XPDE route, over Win95
look, for psychological reasons. For the same reasons, if a user logs on
choosing "Mac user", I'd throw aqua and brushed metal at 'em, OSXy.
don't forget that animated dock, now. "Linux user" should default to
Gnome2.8+ IMHO, with the option to change it.
