The bundled suspend scripts seem to be improving somewhat, but they need work... Additionally, it should be noted that a desktop task has nothing with > multimedia (means: surprise, you can use a desktop without music and > movies). By "multmedia", I mean playing back mp3, ogg, AAC, etc - not content creation. The first two are already included - I was just suggesting adding a few more codecs (like faac and ffmpeg) already in main for use with Rhythmbox/amaroK/totem/Kaffeine (which *are* in the GNOME/KDE desktop task). And maybe one to rule them all so I only have to define font setting exactly > once without caring about the toolkit? I'd definitely like to be able to easily redefine the font aliases - i.e. so I can have Arial map to Vera Sans instead of butt-ugly bitmap Helvetica. Doing this app-by-app or in obscure config files is somewhat annoying. > * Simplify installation of out-of-tree kernel modules, possibly by > adapting > > It should not be a priority. I disagree, as this applies to all drivers - not just non-free drivers. As it stands, users have to figure out what chipset their hardware uses, install "build-essential" and the proper driver source package, and then m-a a-i the relevant package. This can be quite confusing to the average user. Tim
