</I>
Well that is de specific, yes gimp is written in gtk, but it is almost
independent in my mind from GNOME. I still feel that it is a rather
specialist programme to have.

</I>
Hugin is for panorama's, and while have the kipi-plugin for
gwenview/digikam is nice, I don't feel that it merits the weight of
hugin.

</I>
I agree with this, inkscape really is something specialist.

</I>><i> Mageia is giving LibreOffice full official support, and to do so, it has to
</I>><i> be on the Live CD's, in my opinion.
</I>
Libreoffice should stay, when my hard disk failed, this allowed me to
still complete my work while waiting for a new on to arrive.
