Package list

[Colin McDermott]

List of included packages (lets see if we can work out a way of managing 
this).

XFCE - of course.
Gaim - IM.
Firefox - browser. *
Mozilla - browser.
Gimv - image viewer.
Gvim - text editor; Evim as an easy text editor.
Vim-python for scripting Vim.
Vlc - media player.
BeepMediaPlayer - music player.
D4x download manager.
Gimp - image editor.
Inkscape - vector graphics editor.
Audacity - music editor.
(if it will be packaged) Avidemux - movie editor. *
Evince - document viewer. *
Graveman - CD-DVD burner. 
Abiword - text processor. *
Gnumeric - spreadsheet. *
Gcalctool - calculator. *
Gftp - ftp GUI.
Synaptic - apt GUI.
(until 4.4) Idesk - desktop icons.
Links -g - text mode browser.
/missing:
DC client. 
DND desktop/filemanager icons - coming with 4.4
though.


Mozilla, Gaim, Gimp, BMP, Gvim, Synaptic, maybe Idesk
should be standard I believe.

*Apps with a lot of Gnome dependecies currently, and
should be recompiled, for a slimmer system (is this
possible?)

My suggestion:
rox-filer as a file manager.
rox-filer for desktop icons as well (Is user friendly and can be modified unlike idesk.)
Dillo modified instead of links
Games. Xsok (xsokoban), Junior-games-sim, Junior-games-card,junior-games-arcade,
(perhaps pingus and supertux).
Gtkam (usb camera interface).
A leightweight interface for Cups-d (I have not found one yet, reasonable problem).
x-tiny instead of xorg if this works well.
gkdial for dial up internet connections (there are a few bugs but I believe that this is the 
easiest and best gui internet connection client.)
That we ditch the Gimp for something lighter aka tuxpaint or xpaint (High end graphics design 
and legacy hardware, I can't see it working out).

Either way we need this list in a blog format so that everyone can add changes and have them 
approved or denied.

Cheers
