Good product, some suggestions
by Jason Keirstead on Thursday 03/Nov/2005, @08:38

Tried out the product. I think this is a novel idea and it may really take off. Here are a few of my simple suggestions.

- Add Firefox. Konqueror is great, but it still has problems on some pages.

- Add OpenOffice. Same reason as above for KOffice.

- Install the flash plugin. Sure, some people disllike flash, but it is needed for navigation on many sites nowadays.

- It would be *super* if you were allowed to use klik:// to install apps in your userspace. I don't see how this would really be a security problem either as long as the root filesystem has restrictive permissions.

- I wish I could use KControl to change some of my personal preferences (I hate the bouncy icon mouse cursor).

That is it for now. Best of luck with the software.

As he indicated adding Firefox and OO.o would increase memory usage which would mean more investment into RAM for them per user. Maybe they should instead invest that money into streamlining the configuration and supporting specific improvements in Konqueror and KOffice.
