Really nice, so what about this:
* Make the desktop spin a GNOME showcase. A very good general purpose
desktop without the heavy productivity apps if those would take away
from an awesome desktop because of the space constraint, but otherwise
a really slick and immediately useful desktop for the average user.
* Make the default Firefox homepage (and maybe also an icon on the
desktop to open it called "Discover Fedora") be an URL to a fedora
hosted webpage with all those wonderful videos (theora encoded!), nice
explanations for new users etc. *And* a link on the side "Install this
software" which would fire up PackageKit to install, say, GIMP and
Inkscape as showcased on the video.
- This webpage could then go on and contain a paragraph with
developer tools and the same kind of link. Idem for office apps,
scientific/math tools, server foo, virtualization, etc.
Btw, this would work both on the installed system as well as on the
live system as long as the computer has enough RAM to install the
packages.
