desktop task: package list
hello there
talking about the gnome desktop task ( don't know about other
environments) and the packages that should go along.
i want to propose a minimal (or "normal") desktop task and a full
functional desktop task.
by this i mean that a full desktop task should cover every area of
desktop usage such as:
- desktop accessories:
. desktop search (beagle)
.. beagle-backend-evolution
. chm visualiser ( xchm or gnochm)
- development ( i think development tools are not needed)
- system tools
. gconf-editor
. gnome-keyring-manager
- graphics
. gtkam ( today everyone has a digital foto machine)
. gthumb
. camorama (we cam enable)
. gimp
.. gtkam-gimp
.. gimp-svg
.. gimp-print
.. gimp-help-en
. xsane
.. libsane-extras
.. sane-utils
- internet
. tsclient
.. rdesktop
.. vnc-viewer
. liferea
. epiphany-browser
.. epiphany-extensions
. gaim
.. gaim-backend-evolution
. evolution
.. evolution-exchange
.. evolution-plugins
.. evolution-webcal
.. contact-lookup-applet
. xchat
. ekiga
- productivity
. openoffice.org with gnome integration ( the few integration)
.. openoffice.org-evolution
. glabels ( for cd covers, labels, and others)
. contacts ( address book that integrates with evolution)
- sound and video
. Istanbul session recorder ( it's for fun)
. totem with all available codecs
- games
. frozen buble
. gnome-sudoku
==== other stuff ===
= nautilus and gnomevfs related
to support every fs:
. ssh
. ftp
. gnomevfs-extfs
. libntfs-gnomevfs
. smbfs ( and smbclient?)
. nfs (?)
. davfs2
= version control clients =
