Yeah, that'll convince 'em to just go with the 'Everything' install.
<grin>

Oh, I know it's dreadfully easy, after you've installed, configured, and
learned to use it. But, that's the thing quite a few folks would just as
happily avoid in the midst of getting anything working in the first
place.

And, of course, the apt HOWTO won't tell you what to use for reading
mail, browsing the web, etc. Of course, neither does the "everything"
install, but it does take yet one more thing to do off the list of
things to do. Not everyone is concerned about installing things they
will never use. Not everyone has a minimalist prejudice.
