It looks like mostly the same stuff as 7.2...  I would imagine that
most of the extra disk is from the natural bloat of XFree86, KDE 3,
GNOME, Mozilla, etc.  It also looks like they're including a lot more
of what used to be in the powertools like postfix, openmotif, lots of
Perl modules, cups, etc., and totally new stuff like vsftpd.

No OpenOffice, unfortunately.  They do have the latest koffice and
abiword though, I think.

I also kind of wish they'd include some more games.  Tuxracer is
great, but it only keeps you occupied so long.  :-)  All that 3D
support just seems like a waste without more to throw at it.
