Good ideas, but keep in mind, GTA is trying to cater to the people who
can't install Win98 without reading the manuals first .. keep it simple.

I figured PCMCIA support was put in for the use of PCMCIA flash memory
cards in the future or some such nonsense ..
As far as space goes, I think if they continue to support the 1.44 floppy,
it'd be nice to see them put extra features in a modular kernel format, so
you could "custom-build" (most likely it would be more like picking one of
several combinations) of kernels that has the featureset you want. For
instance, there are several cases where I'd drop the web interface without
batting an eye, in trade for either an sshd admin tool or just plain using
the console access.
My two cents as well, don't spend it all in one place ...
