+Interesting idea.
+This idea nicely complements something in a lot of posts - having groups 
+available to select during installation, instead of or as well as 
+detailed selection by package.
+Suggested groups have included young family, home office, education 
+(preschool/primary/secondary/post-secondary), small business, gamer, 
+developer, and many others that I can't think of for the moment.
+These groups would be overlapping, as applications like Firefox and 
+OpenOffice (or one of the variants, Go-oo or LibreOffice) would probably 
+be in several groups.
+
+Now during installation there are only Server and Internet user groups, 
+if I remember correctly.
+
+I like the 4 levels - a lot better than only beginner/expert.
+And the small list for new users.
+And much easier to implement than guessing.
+Another advantage being that those helping (on forums, etc) would be 
+able to know what exactly the user is seeing.
+Definitely worth considering. :)
