Hello,
I have noted that on a standard install (with gnome, kde, multimedia, desktop,
internet ) there is :
- 3 complete Office suites
- 5/6 (or more) IRC/messenging client
- 1 seti watcher (Ksetiwatch)
- no Video Editor/DV cam utils (linuxvideostudio, dvgrab for exemple)
- no Multimedia center (as MMboX, Freevo)
-> I have the feeling that Mandrake can do everything but don't show it !
I'm not sure that the end user prefer have 6 or more IRC/messenging clients
and can't sync his DV cam or use a multimedia center (for exemple) than have 2
or 3 IRC/messenging clients and can do everything he want with his machine
with a std install.
I think a more feature based software strategy could be better, no ?
I'm contributor of some packages in contribs :
Motion, MMboX (member of dev team), atitvout, boson,...)
Contribs repository isn't clearly mentionned to end-user, I have the feeling
that only cookers and advanced Mdk users use it :(
Can we discuss about software strategy ?
I like the Mdk, it's the best OS, but it can be better for the end user
simply.
Thanks,
Florent
