Bourne shell. It's the only way to be sure (tm) :-) But like you said,
a GLLUG distribution is doomed from the start. The whole point about
doing a roll your own distribution is that you get to have what you
want in it. Given the various pro-mutt/pine/other-mua-of-the-week
arguments we've had here, it's a fair bet that anything short of
including everything will ultimately fail to please some people.
And, of course, including everything leads to a bloated distribution
that others dislike...
