I have a real show stopper here

[Christopher Chaltain]

What do you mean when you say vinux only has a few poultry applications? 
If you mean at install time, the DVD version will have more applications 
installed than the CD version. Otherwise, you can use the Software 
Center to pretty much install anything you want, the same applications 
you can install on Ubuntu in fact.

Remember too that Vinux uses Unity, so if you're just looking at the 
Launcher, you're only seeing a dozen of the most commonly used 
applications on your system. You can use the Dash to get to the other 
applications installed on your system and even install more 
applications. Use alt+f2 to bring up the Dash. The vinux wiki has 
articles on how to use the Dash and get around the Unity desktop in general.
