Re: Two NetBSDs: from Desktop NetBSD needs your help




Well, following ones would improve printer choices:

ghostscript
foomatic-filters
foomatic-filters-cups
foomatic-ppds
foomatic-ppds-cups

About license issues: Well i have just noticed that OpenSUSE has changed its license and there is no accept-license screen while installing it -- simply because opensuse team categorised all softwares, applications and classes and they include only either "Free Software" or "Open Source Software" by default. Announcement is here: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_EULA

Once you think about license isssues --- just download opensuse dvd or check their default packages

Hello!

Well, i'm one of the list member that use NetBSD as primary desktop / notebook operating system in daily business life, browsing, mailing, photo editing, database management, net based application devolopment, etc. etc.


I've tried gnome, kde, xfce and openbox as desktop environment and window manager and in short choosing right desktop environment strongly depends on your desktop pleasures and your needs. I generally prefer KDE but most of the reasons why i prefer KDE is SUBJECTIVE! I believe most of yours are subjective too.

As a result, i really dont care which one is preferred, but i believe a desktop netbsd would be quite good. So use easy-to-integrate one.

Thanks Cem. Are there any specific applications (or class of applications) missing from the proposed meta-meta-package list that you feel are must-haves for an out of the box environment? Not so much development tools, but everyday types of things.

Cheers,
Jared
