> full Linux desktop<p>> The Core Project is a highly modular based system (...) It is not a complete desktop nor is all hardware completely supported. It represents only the core needed to boot into a very minimal X desktop typically with wired internet access.<p>That is not a full desktop, and the [The Core] project doesn't say it is.<p>That being said the concept of "full desktop" is somewhat loaded. Today we have a somewhat unreasonable expectation that at least one, but sometimes several browsers, office suites, multimedia viewers and editors to be a "basic desktop".<p>Back in the 90's people did not expect the computer to come with any such software applications built-in.
