Just buy OS3.1 or Cloanto's OS3.X then if you want it all minimalist. Are the bug fixes without the enhancements worth the time to manually install OS3.2 the way you like it?
I personally don't know what all the fuss is about other than the new ROMs and the ease of new install without as many patches. But since I endured getting my OS3.9 systems stable I don't see the need to mess them up! I am still wary about Boing Bags 3 & 4 though they are probably fine. It's nice when someone like H&P has officially signed off on the updates even though it's the same developers doing the work in either an official or unofficial capacity!
