Agreed. The default minimalistic approach really turns new user off- I have heard comments about this for many years. For me a default minimal configuration in a distro for new users should at least contain: (1) A systray (2) A mounter (3) A mixer (4) A file manager (5) A terminal in the dock. It is easy enough for experienced users to customize their desktop. Also, another problem with NeXTstep style interfaces is that it is really foreign to people who have not seen it before. IMHO, a first installation should offer the new user to take the "Guided Tour". Charles -- "Whip me. Beat me. Make me maintain AIX." (By Stephan Zielinski)
