Hi,
there are a couple of things I don't understand
1- why is the kernel 2.6.15? (is 2.6.18.2 by now)
2- why not having the latest vim (7.0)?
3- OpenOffice is also a bit outdated and many other packages
A package I would include per default is vrms. It's the perfect tool
to find ou how many packages are free or not in your box (Virtual
Richard M Stallman)
I would suggest that the project includes it and that it is launched
automatically from time to time as a kind of pop-up window (with the
option "i don't want any notifications in the future" vailable, not to
annoy people)
Also there should be an easy-to-find docummentation for n00bs (say, an
icon on the desktop to an internal html page) to explain them what the
"freedom alternatives" are:
ogg (vorbis/theora)-- mp3, mpg, avi
odt -- doc
etc... you get the idea
and a link to the FSF, so that more people register (and pay)
BTW I am using ubuntu right now and vrms says:
26 non-free packages, 1.6% of 1634 installed packages.
Bluntly speaking, this is a 1.6% dirty GNU/Linux OS
Shame on IT people of my Institute...
