Utterly Missing functionality
-----------------------------
advanced Firewall configurator
logfile / logreporter / logrotate configurator / much ado about logs
security administrator entry for email, perms
wheel group
sudo and sudo configurator
snort configurator, log setup

Nice to have functionality
--------------------------
medusa configurator:
	anyone in the vg: nobody group has restrictions
partition alteration tool?  (I installed reiserfs /home and /var, 	and they are installed as ext2  -- *boogle*)
dummy root support ???  don't know if this is possible or not
logging facility should catch every permission denied error

Install changes
---------------
Office Workstation on install should install Scribus and Lyx
Internet Workstation on install should install Mozilla
Network Server on install should install snort
default mod on install for root, wheel, others
securetty setup on install
option not to load network servers on first boot
locate should be installed *default*

On Boot
-------
Have default user to autodetect PAM errors for after power failures

Configuration / Package changes
-------------------------------
KMail should automagically be set to use PGP since PGP launches on firsttime start
Gnome2 should be setup so Perl's Gtk2 works
Glade should have all language bindings
YaST2:
		Install
	Rollback function? At least for packages that came with SuSE
	Show package/install chain before installing
		System Backup
			Desperately Needed
	File selection screen should be a tree list, support extended selections, support select by type / regex
	Incremental backup support
	Exclude directories should in fact work for the directory itself
	Exclude by file type, and regex
	After computing backup size, should wait for user to 'ok',
		showing the total backup size.
			Nice
	File Browser for exclude directories
		Software
	Should be able to set install sources online in any case
	Should be able to define multiple sources in any case

KDE Panel
---------
KDE Administration tab
	Install: KDE/Gnome/X version-specific packages should be 		listed as such
KDE Start menu should have a Gnome Applications entry
KDE Start Menu Administration should have log report views
