Going one step farther: I'm assuming this means that people could go to the media kit website, pick out the modules they want (within a given size limitation) and then order that particular combo? > As such you could think about a number of standalone 'modules' - These are all great. > Anyway, just throwing this out to see if there's any ideas people have that > haven't been captured.

I would like to see the entire desktop be a module. That is, all of the GNOME-specific desktop stuff as one big module. That way folks could easily add on their own desktop of choice (i.e. XFCE, KDE, however). Alternatively, one big "GUI" module, so folks could get a strictly "console-based" experience for servers, etc. :) These are great ideas!
