Features of the upcoming 0.0.0 release
Based on RedHat 7.
Focus will be in graphics: Linux should not be a boring web server
but a platform for doing exciting things. With this in mind ythe
following are requirements for releasing 0.0.0
1) Removing cluster software (limited use for 99% of people)
2) Replacing sendmail by the faster, easier to setup and more secure
postfix
3) Adding the non-VI editor for repairs
4) Blender 1.8 with manuals and tutorials
5) Povray and Giram (modeller)
6) Vector graphics program. For now it is sketch over KDraw, I still
have not made my mind about using the old Tk based version or the
nicer but still beta GTk version.
Things to implement if there is time:
1) Rebuilding XFree for more speed ad fixing french keyboard handling
2) Perhaps a newer Gimp but the RH version is very modern. Rebuilding
it would allow to add some plugins
3) Add a couple hacks who make X significantly more robust to user
mistakes
4) Fix Linuxconf: the stupid thing will be looking for sendail and
complaing about not finding it.
Things for later:
-Installation and logo fixes
