Looks like the Squeeze LTS project[1] could use some help[2] and the team proposing a fork are server type folk reading between the lines. Good fit of skill sets and a way of generating positive outcomes quickly to build confidence? So fork from squeeze forward updating strategic packages? PS: I love the 'how long are your beards?' line. Obviously, I'd rather Debian didn't fork and that we kept choice for server people in one of the larger Linux distros just on an 'ecological diversity' basis. You can do a window manager on top of X with systemv right now in Jessie [3], the '--no-install-recommends' option to apt-get is helpful. But the result will be seriously old-school. Its rather fun for surfing in cafes and wasting time on forums but for my day to day work (not programming) I prefer a full fat desktop like KDE/Gnome.
