I like 3D rendering , don't hold me up to shame.
I just want to say that my PC is a "tool" for me or "a lathe". And I 
trying make it more handy. Current situation looks like "it has no 
matter that sword is blunt, it has brilliant instead". Every time I have 
to search program or manual or something else... And I don't know for 
sure what will be really useful. I saw that others has the same problem. 
If we could make the good distro, why can't we make a some kind of 
"pattern" for
- software designer
- graphic designer
- journalist
- secretary
- layer
- accountant
...
with appropriate collections of program and manuals that are specialized 
for aim of pattern? How many patterns really could be?

"Office suit..." boys, what is an OFFICE for you today? As for me it is: 
thunderbird, ICQ, wiki, google calendar, cvs, firefox. It is  
definitely  not  M$ Office! Typewriters and charts was an office 
programs somewhere in 1995...
