I didn't comprehend this calulation, but I'll nevertheless submit my
suggestions:

* the *complete* GNOME 2.2 suite
* the *complete* KDE 3.1.2 suite
* Samba 3.0 beta1 (as well as Samba 2.2.8a or 2.2.9)

Specifically:

* skli (part of KDE kdenonbeta, GUI frontend to scli; scli is on Knoppix already)
* CUPS 1.1.19
* all NX libraries from www.nomachine.com (NX is an extremely efficient
  X Window compression and caching technology, making remote X session
  possible at modem speed connections)
* OpenOffice.org 1.1betaX (as well as 1.0.3 stable)
* lire (http://www.logreport.org/) -- generates statistical reports from
  all kinds of log files in various formats.
* distcc 2.5.1 and ccache 2.2 (ccache.samba.org)#
* hpijs 1.4
* flphoto (http://www.easysw.com/~mike/flphoto/) -- very nice photo printing
  (and album creating) software.
* epm 3.6 (http://www.easysw.com/epm/) -- a meta package builder (creates RPMs,
  *.debs and most UNIX package formats (including Mac OS X packages) from the
  same source files).
* htmldoc 1.8.23 (http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/) -- creates very nice PDF from
  HTML input (runs as commandline program or via GUI, also runs as a CGI program)

Cheers,
Kurt
