It did. Until I couldn't install multiple desktops anymore. (18)
Isn't there more value in a development workstation
Of course there is. Yet, we remove things like GCC from the default
install. Why?
or a design suite
I don't think this is needed on the DVD. This should be a separate
spin (I think it is already). One can always "yum install gimp" after
having a working desktop or "minimal" install.
or a web application stach, or other dissimilar things rather than
Define "web application stack".
This definition changes daily.
the marginal added value of a 4th (or 5th, or 6th, or 7th) desktop?
I disagree that these are "marginal" value adds considering they got
more press than any other feature in Fedora 18.
This is also why I've always found the multi-desktop DVD to be a
strange
thing to hand out.
I agree. It's useless to an experienced user. I'd rather be handing
out netinstall CD's as an ambassador. Cheaper, leaner, more updated
packages get installed.
unless we're trying to tell people that Fedora is best
for picking between one of 7 desktops and not other things.
We're trying to be too many things at once. Let's get back to basics.
A nice stable linux distro that offers you the most choice with the
most updated packages that is stable.
