Douglas Willett said:Keep applications at a minimum - even less than in R5. Experienced Linux users already have a favorite application for each category. Include a "ReadMe" text, which would include good suggestions for each category and a detailed simple menu for installing them via Synaptic. This would be for Linux newcomers. Finally, maximize drivers, etc that make things - internet connection, printer connection, audio connection, video connection, etc - work essentially right out of the box. R5 is the first install that I ever did that audio worked for every major app (skype, etc) without a lot of searching and messing around. This is one of the reasons I'm using Watt today. The Dougster is right. Something simple with every driver under the sun would be amazing. To be able to install a linux os with little to no driver issues would be amazing. Most linux users replace most default apps any way(I'm looking at you Evolution), so a browser, terminal, and synaptic should be all you need.
