Hi Luckily I've time for have a first look through the packages for openSUSE and here is the result: a first "draft" for the new "education desktop" pattern for openSUSE 10.3. This pattern should show up when you install openSUSE for the first time and click on "details" in the software selection. Or when you open the Software-Dialog after installation. Find more details about patterns in the openSUSE Wiki: http://en.opensuse.org/Patterns First a list of packages which _always_ should be installed if a user selects the pattern (list of required (must) packages to install) - these packages are already on the openSUSE-oss-CDs: audacity bc blender dia ding dosutils drgeo fluidsynth freqtweak gcalctool gimp gimp-help gramofile hydrogen inkscape kdissert kdeedu3 kiosktool kino knoda kseg ksimus ksudoku muse noteedit rasmol rekall rekall-mysql rekall-sqlite rekall-unisql sabayon sabayon-admin skencil vym wine xfig list of recommended (should) packages to install (will be installed, if they are available): batik blender-doc calctool celestia chemtool dosbox gcompris geonext gimp-doc grass italc italc-client kde-kids-theme klogic LabPlot latex-beamer maxima netbeans nvu pythoncad qcad rosegarden4 scilab stellarium taskjuggler taskjuggler-kde tuxmath tuxpaint winetools wxMaxima yacas list of suggested (may) packages to install (they will be shown in the detailed list, but _not_ be installed - the user must "click" on them to install them): childsplay octave openclipart OpenOffice_org-galleries scribus Any package missing?
