Both? For one desktop? Why? Evolution does the job just fine, I don't
see why we would want to have two email clients.

Agree. I don't know why it was added in the first place - Pidgin is fine
for most users, I use it all the time for IRC.

Hmm. The only time most people need these is when compiling software by
hand - is there a widespread necessity for this?

I would say that you probably don't need this for most users - but I
suppose these are small enough they wouldn't matter much.

This is something that I would love to see in openSUSE in general - not
just the live CD, now that openSUSE no longer includes proprietary
software in the basic medias.

Other than those comments, I *do* want to see The GIMP - also, is Cheese
included in the GNOME Live CD? If not, that'd be interesting to have in
the live CD. I'm also pushing for the inclusion of a few extra
(relatively small) packages in the GNOME desktop for 11.2 (see openFATE
#306307 & #305706), so I'd like to see those included as well (presuming
they get included in 11.2)
