Hello, everyone!

I see I need to clarify some of my comments...

What I meant was I didn't care WHICH text editor was left in, just as long as we had at least one included. My personal preference for a text editor is nano, but I can use vi in a pinch. Vi isn't that large, so there's no problem with a couple of text editors.

My POINT behind all of this, however, is that if we're going to use IchthuX as an OUTREACH TOOL to people who do not yet know Jesus nor Linux, it would be best to SIMPLIFY as much as is possible.

When sharing the Gospel, does Billy Graham start off with words like "Propitiation" or "Substitutionary Atonement"? No, he doesn't. He describes those CONCEPTS, but in terms that the pre-Christian can easily grasp.

I think this same concept should be applied to an evangelistic distro - it's not just about compiling a bunch of Christian Debian packages, but how we PRESENT them to the user that is going to make a huge difference. :D Let's go ahead and make sure that there are some powerful tools under the hood... but we don't need to spend extra time explaining what "zile" or "nano" is to the average end-user. I'd even venture to say that the average end-user won't even CARE that there are CLI text editors... so there's no need to point them out specifically.

Which brings me to my next thoughts about how the distro should be organized...

Ah, but you've hit upon the point exactly. The sub-menu IS the standard. It's certainly the standard that the non-Linux user is used to seeing. This brings us back to the purpose of IchthuX - EVANGELISM... both of the gospel of Jesus Christ and of the freedom of Open Source.

When sharing the Gospel with a pre-Christian, it is most wise to communicate to them AT THEIR LEVEL. Understanding is CRUCIAL. Without understand, life-change cannot happen - they cannot follow Jesus if they can't understand that HE is the one we're talking about, and they can't be set free from inferior proprietary systems if they see the alternative as something so completely over-their-head that it is unusable.

I have done a number of comptuer "conversions", and without exception, each one has been dependant upon the end-user UNDERSTANDING how to use their own system.

Hah! that is the PERFECT justification to use GRUB!! :D (I feel much the same way about LILO...)

Grace and peace to you all - PastorEd
