>  Tools used:
>  - Mostly gedit to manually edit the config files
>  - gconf-edit to change defaults
>
>  There were quite a few changes we made.  Here is a brief list:
>  - Created a custom kickstart for our custom install over network boot
> servers so that we can image many systems at once
>  - Created our own Fedora 8 internal repo so that the second stage of the
> install process installs all updates from our local repo so the user does
> not have a massive download when they receive the desktop
>  - Added extra archive support so the users who are used to a GUI
> environment like Windows can just click on most archive file formats and it
> will open in archive manager
>  - Customised keyboard settings so that the Internet keys on the keyboard
> will work out of the box.  Key like mute/un-mute, volume up, volume down,
> Windows Start Menu key will select the main Applications menu, CD playback
> keys etc.
>  - DVD, VCD, CD auto play in full screen when inserted.
>  - We have made sure most file formats are supported and load in the correct
> applications.  Formats like MP4, MP3, WAV, DOC, PPT, XLS, PDF, image formats
> etc.
>  -  Browser (Firefox) is pre-installed with Adobe flash and Java plugins so
> the user can start using the Internet straight away without having to worry
> about installing and configuring these plugins.
>  -  Remote Desktop, we have installed an easy to use GUI for remote desktop
> use.  Out of the box it supports RDP, RDPv5, VNC, XDMCP.
>  -  GUI PPTP VPN client is also installed to make it easy for business users
> to connect into another network.
>  -  Bluetooth support installed and set-up.  If a user has a Bluetooth USB
> adapter and plugs it is, system automatically detect and provide Bluetooth
> support.
>  -  Customised default user profile so that many minor settings have been
> altered so each user account created automatically has what we believe an
> easy to user interface and less changes are required for the user to just
> user the system without have to customise first.
>  - Added the livna repo for installing some of the extra packages we wanted.
>  - Changed the default applications to a range of applications that suit
> both the home and business market.  A lot of the default applications were
> kept as they were ones we wanted anyway.
>  - We also install and customise an open source web based admin product so
> that most common admin tasks can be performed from support personal with
> just a web browser even will the user is still using the system.

with such modified system?
