For old computers and Command_Line_Interface_Lovers I suggest to
include into the gnewsense distribution the following features:

1) Comfortable CLI environment on LiveCD: mc, screen, mpd, pppoe,
console-cyrillic.

2) A script to remove gdm (IMHO, this set of programs eats to much
resources and works quite unstable) and install lightweight
Desktop_Environment_Independent software alternatives to Gnome's
programs (not to forget about a light display manager like ion2, twm,
or fluxbox).
