Scribus:
Scribus is an open source desktop page layout program with the aim of
producing commercial grade output in PDF and Postscript, primarily, though
not exclusively for Linux.
evince-gtk is better than xpdf.
No reason to have both abiword and openoffice.

You might want something like:
vim-vimoutliner - script for building an outline editor on top of Vim
vym - mindmapping tool

cream is my favorite editor.
Description: VIM macros that make the VIM easier to use for beginners
Cream's motto is "Cream makes the powerful Vim text editor easy!". It brings
a completely different look and feel to the VIM for those who are used to more
intuitive editors while still preserving the more powerful features of VIM.
It features pull-down menus, color themes, bookmarking, auto spellcheck and
more. It leaves the default VIM untouched and is started by running 'cream'.

Now, noticed the liquorix kernel and smix stuff
Can you possibly explain how I would add that kernel in a chroot environ?
the script above in your link
How does it work??

Well, now does anyone have suggestions for organizers, stuff like that?

What are good lite-weight organizers for Linux?
thanks

I use osmo.
Description: personal organizer for GTK+
Osmo is a personal organizer, which includes calendar, task
manager and address book modules. It aims to be easy to use and
configurable to meet the user's preferences.

ok
great, so I've added osmo and scribus
I think I'm at like 685mb now, so thats all I can fit maybe....

I've got a lot of cool apps in this one "PocketWriter" Linux
should I do the acronym thing and call it PWL?

after mksquash'n this one I'll drop the apps list
something like 1500 pkgs in 685MB squashfs!

Debian rocks!

OH
