Two things:

C7 is mature enough related to versions of Fedora to consider it for a 
desktop.  In fact I would like to try this for my parents (both 88).  So 
far, only barrier is no Adobe apps,so need some other source for flash 
and acrobat reader (and the reader has to all for editable forms).  I 
did find one open flash effort that works on arm; don't have the name or 
URL handy.  It needs work.

Then sometimes for servers (particularly a file server), I will VNC in 
to them.  So although I do not run the GUI on the server, I need some of 
the code there.  And the right Xfce starter script.
