<div>The installation packages of most of these games take
even less space on the iso, than an average wallpaper.....<br>
<br>
For instance: in Xubuntu 14.04, the installation package
of AisleRiot Solitaire is only half a megabyte: 585 kB, to
be exact. And the installation package of Minesweeper
(gnome-mines) is only one third of a megabyte: 298 kB.<br>

What problem does removing them solve? :-)<br>

Who said there's a problem?<br>

The subject came up in a meeting - there were only 2 or 3 people
there so it got taken here for more discussion.<br>

If there isn't a problem with having these games installed by
default, then what is there to gain by not having them installed by
default?<br>
<br>
You asked for comments on your first post. It would be helpful to
know why this discussion has started and what is there to gain by
having them / not having them installed by default.<br>
<br>
According to PK the games only take about a megabyte of space on the
iso. So far, I haven't figured out the purpose of not shipping these
two games by default, other than obviously saving space on the iso
or saving resources when packaging.<br>
<br>
On the topic:<br>
I would like to see 2-4 games installed by default. These games
should be the most generic ones: minesweeper, solitaire... There
could also be a hyperlink pointing to games-category in Software
Center included in the games-folder in Whisker-menu. Small games are
a great way for a beginner to start their adventures on Linux! They
are also pretty well presented in Software Center, so installing
them should not be a problem.<br>
