I think we should give it a try, to have a look what is removed from the
cd. if it is to much I'll remove iceweasel again.

Sounds good.  firefox used to be on the first CD, and thus iceweasel
should take its place.

I'm not sure if iceweasel is that much better than konqueror that we
should spend CD space on it, and KDE need konqueror to work properly.
What do the rest of you think.  Is konqueror in etch enough for most
users?

Friendly,

Unfortunately there are a lot of web pages not working to well with konqueror, and it's not very good at handling all kinds of plugins. A lot of educational net based software depends on browsers with different plugins. IMHO iceweasel should be on cd1, along with most common plugins, and gimp should be replaced with digikam with plugins. Digikam is lighter than gimp, but suits most needs for image manipulation in schools. Gimp is somewhat heavy, and the common situation in schools is that you have groups with at least 5-10 pupils at a time. 5-10 users using gimp on thin clients simultaneously is not a very good idea...
