what will it offer?
Grace, speed, balance, and usability. Vague, I

movie/dvd player in conjunction with the xine firefox
browser plugin for video streaming online
- gedit
and abiword: a
quick notepad editor along with a MSWord-similar document editor.
- firefox:
replaced epiphany for video streaming stability, and lower package size
(not to mention no moz deps)
