[Fedora-spins] Netizen Spin

[David Green]

Hello Corey

I'm having a bit of a problem with the concept.  When you say organize 
packages differently. do you mean that if you went to the Package 
Manager software would be grouped according to Maslow's hierarchy, 
rather than the normal Security, Office, etc?  If so I would think this 
is going to be confusing to a lot of people to find what packages they need.
