I am a person who believes in minimalism and extreme configurability.
I could not find a minimalist spin of Fedora.
The spin I would actually like would contain
Window Managers
* Ratpoison
* dwm/wmii
* {Open,Flux}box
Console Apps
* Screen
Shell
* zsh
Compilers/Interpreters
* gcc
* perl
* python
IRC
* irssi
* bitlbee
Office
* antiword
* Is there a Fast and Light Office suite? Maybe gnumeric/abiword
PDFs ( I cannot decide. I got used to apvlv. But not many use it)
* apvlv
* epdfview
Web Browsers
* Conkeror
* Firefox (Worth the extra mbs it uses)
* Kazehakase (If firefox is too heavy)
Multimedia
* mplayer
System Monitor
* Conky
Download Managers
* wget/aria2c
* A possible wrapper script (with zenity?) for easy scheduling
Image Viewer
* feh - Image Viewer
File Managers
* mc (Console)
* emelfm (GUI)
Editors
* zile
[ * gvim
* emacs ] -> I use emacs. But choice is important too...
Mail Client
* mutt
* A possible Mail-notifier on Conky
Graphics (Do we need these?)
* Gimp
* inkscape
I am sure there are a group of people here who use a similar
configuration. I am posting this only on the Indian List.
I havent got the spin rolling yet, but this is roughly what I use. Is
someone else also interested in this kind of a spin?
(Note: This is not a INX lookalike. I do feel X gives you more control
and more space to do things)
