James,
Thanks for the feedback. I think you may be on to something. Most
people who aren't familiar with the individual package names are going
to have a really hard time finding a piece of software without seeing
some sort of category separation. I don't see a reason we shouldn't
automatically help out the user by arranging them in the patterns.
Anyone else care to also jump on this band-wagon? :)

Guys, I really think that the default for the gnome gtk package selector view should be "in patterns" because none of us jr. geeks knows how to choose all the dependencies for anything. starting with patterns as a default lets me go to "web and Lamp" and add perl support for instance. This adds continuity to the process of finding software in both the "more applications" menu and the package selector. --. James Tremblay Director of Technology Newmarket School District 213 S.
