Some have suggested more windowing +choices or tailored installations in software just as you are +suggesting. The marketing team will also be looking into it as well and +your comments on this are important. + +Some members, have suggested tailoring the "Customize" section where +there are already "Games", "Mail" "Server" etc categories by added more + such as (we have made a quick collection of these suggested in posts): + + * Gaming + * Education + o home + o teacher + o academic + * Music + * Video (+ Tv/online streaming) + * Audio/Video editing + * Graphics + * Office + * Visually impaired users (Braille (brltty), speech output (orca +etc.), magnification) + * Full server + o Business + o Education + o Development + * Home mini-server + o Document + o Graphics + o Music + o Communications (telephony) + +So far these are the suggestions that we have collected on the threads. +We could certainly add more if you think more should exist.
