Basically, it adds files to /etc, /usr, and /lib, and you can browse those from that link. That "Ubuntu Studio Preparation article is severely outdated as much, if not all, of the configuration is done with ubuntustudio-default-settings and ubuntustudio-controls.

My only ideas involve removing the tagline (we don't need it, and we're the only flavor still referencing the old "Linux for Human Beings" slogan), and updating the logo to be matching the official logo at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Artwork/UserShowcase#Ubuntu_Studio_Official_Logo. The wordmark is correct, but that spinning logo (while a cool idea) is off-axis terribly. But, as far as I'm concerned, go nuts. It needs a refresh like a monkey needs a banana. Thanks! Erich
