Actually at first boot I didn't mean distro level. I just meant the first time you load the gnustep environment it should ask you about the window style you prefer. Distro management belongs with OSX/windows/FreeBSD/Debian/Ubuntu etc I do think that a gnustep session (etoile) should be a bigger priority than it currently is. I think etoile gets bogged down trying to be better than os rather than just working now and fixing those problems later.
