I propose we look at three alternatives for our default distribution:

1) Use a slightly modified default Debian setup similar to what I created, plus the utilities we have developed (basiccheck, modem drivers, etc)

2) Add and remove packages from our current freekbox 3 to attain the functionality in the default Debian install, but keep the basic plan the same.

3) Convert to Ubuntu.

Please add your criteria below

Dave's quote is "The adopter should never have to open a terminal"

This includes thumb drives, cd drives, many cameras, ipods
