9 A little bit of both. :)

11 Unlike the Gnome or KDE meta, most of the stuff in the xorg-x11 meta is
12 useless for a standard desktop system. xorg-server is more than enough
13 for those cases.

15 The only bits users might need are a few fonts (dejavu) and a few
16 utilities such as xrandr/mesa-progs/xterm/...

18 As far as "non-free" fonts are concerned, users should stay away from
19 the xorg-x11 meta.
