i looked over a couple of items that probably should be address in addtion to the suggested software mentioned in my previous post
the clock should really be changed by default to the settings %l:%M %p so it displays the 12 hour clock with am or pm... its a minor annoyance to have to change it. also i forgot to mention that a cd ripper should also be included.... asunder is apparently a perfect fit.. extremely light simple straight forward yet elegant... these types of programs being suggested must be addressed because most people will be looking for tools to get what they usually get done ,,, done,, now i believe its the responsibility of the distro to provide the best suited apps for the enviroment in which its in but also making sure its not just functional and feature rich but also simplistically elegant and pleasing to the user. Lets face it,,, more times than not Lubuntu will be used to rescue an aging system from retirement... yet the people using it will still want "nice" fully functional for everyday needs with clean cut simple programs.,,, and yes they do to a certain extent want it pleasing to the eye, or sometimes to look the way they would expect it to look,, as in the case of exaile music player i mentioned. people coming from itunes or songbird or something of the sort will expect the music player to look a bit like exaile but also provide music player support and ipod support... as a final note i would also add the xscreensaver-data-extra file to provide the rest of the 2D screen saver modules from the xscreensaver collection. simply because older machine will not be able to run the 3d screensaver with ease in a lot of cases and i've noticed most people still want screensavers... if they don't think they have enough or that random doesn't diplay enough they will go looking for some and probably install the wrong ones... this way you provide really nice screensaver that they can run out of the box and they most likely won't go lookin and install the wrong ones ,,, case in point avoiding a bad experience from old machines choking on heavy screensavers.. these are all just thoughts would luv some feedback thx ronnie -- This message was sent from Launchpad by Buntfu Linux Computers (https://launchpad.net/~buntfu) to each member of the Lubuntu team using the "Contact this team" link on the Lubuntu team page (https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop).
