	Actually, I've thought of trying to create a distribution that
was exclusively focused on the user experience.  I was going to call
it Kansei Linux after the use of the term in the book "Tog on Software
Design".

	I doubt it would interest many people here though since it would
always make choices in favor of usability.  It would recognize that
usability is not a perjorative, and user-friendly is not code for making
sure that even an idiot can use it.

Have fun (if at all possible),
