Hi Dale:
I totally agree with this category. The different categories had only
been suggested and were still up to debate. I personally would not
recommend "Young Family" as, again, it is very subjective. I happen to
think that I have a very young family at heart but have been married for
over 25 years.
The other categories that are not subjective: "Business"; "Web
Development"; "Academia"; "Education (Primary/Secondary"; "Music"; ...
and more. These categories would be discussed at length on this mailist
before submitting the proposal. And again, different software packages
could possibly apply to more than one category, but would still be only
installed once.
These choices would then reflect that particular person or person(s)
expected usage of the distro.
Marc
