Installed Games

[PK]

I would like to plea for having some simple games by default in Xubuntu....

Most "simple" Xubuntu users I know (people with little understanding of
computers, who use Xubuntu because somebody installed Xubuntu for them),
make use of those simple games rather frequently.

They play mostly AisleRiot, but some of the other games as well.

Another consideration: the simple games make Xubuntu by default look more
friendly; less nerdy.

I'm sure that their size can't be a problem on the iso....

Regards, Pjotr.
