From a users point of view, I'll suggest and request a couple of new software patterns for 10.3 with the possibly required optimizing and setup:
1) Multimedia (Desktop functions) 2) Media Center (Server functions) Reasons: To setup working environments for Audio and Video editing, DVD authoring or Media Center in Linux are not assumed to be trivial user tasks. For comparision, the "Ubuntu Studio" was just released a couple of days ago. As far as I've seen from user discussions about it, Ubuntu Studio contains these extra packages and a optimized kernel for "low latency" recording og midi and supports Jack audio: Audio: Ardour2, Jack Graphic: Blender, Gimp, Inkscape, Hugin, Scribus Video: Cinepaint, Kino, PiTiVi Jokosher, Gnonlin library openSUSE 10.2: All of the above packages are already available either for openSUSE 10.2 directly or from Hugin http://repos.opensuse.org/multimedia:/photo/openSUSE_10.2/ Cinepaint http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/bekun/openSUSE_10.2/ several from http://packman.unixheads.com/suse/10.2/ 1) Multimedia In addition to the above A/V solutions, I'll suggest to add: Video: + Cinelerra (HDV editing, packman) + DVD/HDVD/BD Autoring tools (from list *) + DVD/HDVD/BD Burning tools (from list *) *) This is a comprehensiv list to select from http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/index.php?showtopic=32956 2) Media Center LinuxMCE LinuxMCE is often called a platform for developing smart home modules constructed by a variety of open source projects. The integration of these open source projects, such as Xine, Mythtv, and Asterisk, can be found in the LinuxMCE Software Documentation. http://www.linuxmce.com/ http://wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/Main_Page Maybe more or other packages?
