> It is based on the Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) repositories, and includes:
> 
> * Linux-libre 2.6.31-19
> * Xorg 7.4
> * Gnome 2.28
> * Abrowser 3.5.7
> * OpenOffice.org 3.1.1
> 

Great news! I'll download it this weekend for testing.

> It comes with some issues that need more work:
> 
> * Audacious was removed, sound files need to be remapped to rhythmbox.

Hmm, not so good, I like audacious better than rhythmbox.

> * Pidgin / Empathy

Both programs have similar features and UI. The one that requires less
disk space is better.

> * Abrowser / Arora / Midori / Other

Definitively Abrowser, the vast amount of Abrowser's add-ons and
language support makes it a winner.

> * Totem / VLC

Have you considered SMPlayer?

> * Swfdec / Gnash

Gnash development is more active than swfdec; The latest gnash version
(0.8.7) was released Feb. 15 2010, but swfdec 0.8.4 was released Dec. 21
2008. SO I think gnash is a better alternative
