Hi,
Well, it's mainly as small as it is due to removals regarding
locals and drivers, but if you don't mind, I could also quickly
draft up a kickstart file including GNOME and Sugar, wihch is not

Even if Marco wouldn't like this, it was on my list of things we

You can easily make gdm the session manager from which to choose sugar
or gnome, and thereby give them access to gimp, inkscape and whatever
other apps...

What's wrong with offering kde, sugar, or gnome from the login manager
(whatever that might be... that could be made as simple or complicated
as one wanted.) Kde has an amazingly powerful group of edu apps, as
does gnome, as does Sugar... all for different age groups...

So Simon, if you want to get rid of GNOME and add the yum bits to the
instructions about switching to GNOME on the Soas page, please go
ahead :)

Yeah we are doing the same with edubuntu... which should include sugar
in Jaunty+1, when it is a little more mature (activity wise.) Kde-edu
has made massive advances in their edu tools and the kde team seems
very committed to getting the whole distro known as the 'edu' distro.

A 4 year old should not face a dialog box asking gnome or sugar. A 12
year old with experience should be able to break out of sugar to the
full power of Linux. It's ok with me if the 12 year old has to toto a
page in a wiki to do it. Doesn't have to be super easy
