What I have in mind is a desktop environment similar to gnome, but I
do not know yet exactly what packages should be included. Now I am
trying to install firefox without x (using frame buffer), hopefully it
is working.
So, may be we should have at least:
Internet:
Graphical web browser
Graphical chat
Office:
Spreadsheet
word processor
Audio and Video:
Video player
Audio Player
Accessories:
Calculator
And may be some games and utilities.
And for login may be use Qingy instead of getty? Once login, it should
fire up a "desktop" with menu of available software there.
