KubuntuExtras
Information
Kubuntu currently ships with a variety of applications in which suit the average user. We do realize that this doesn't suit everyone, even the newest of users who are looking for that one particular package that they do not know is available. Because Kubuntu currently doesn't have any extra space located on the CDs, we have come up with the next best thing and that will be a "Kubuntu Extras Document" which will be located in the system documentation starting with the 8.04 (Hardy Heron) release as well as the community documentation wiki.
- Why not have a "Kubuntu Extras" section as a part of Adept's post install/upgrade process? This might be include as a checklist of the softwares listed here and a single install button will provide the checked ones.
So, if you have some applications that you use with your Kubuntu system, please add them to the growing list below. If someone has already added your application, then second the application by adding a checkmark by typing a (./) next to the application listed. Thank you!
Comment: could we also have a mark (.\) for votes against it please? - MyriamSchweingruber

Suggestion List - To be removed
D3lphin - oh come on, this is great, you don't have to use it if you don't like it, but removing something the Kubuntu team (and the KDE folks) has voted for is silly. MyriamSchweingruber
- Also note that the Dolphin "NAY" sayers are the minority. There have been way more people say "YES" and enjoy Dolphin as the default file manager.
OpenOffice.org - Just a suggestion, to be replaced by Koffice. ClayWeber
There is already a spec on replacing OpenOffice with KOffice. Currently, KOffice still has too many bugs for my taste. After KOffice 2 is out, it may be a worthy replacement for OpenOffice, though.
