I would really like to see a distribution which puts all the best alternative software together:

- pyspread for a spreadsheet

- LyX for a word-processor

- OpenSCAD for a 3D modeler

- TkzEdt (or ipe) for 2D drawing

&c.

(and I'd be interested in suggestions for similar software for other tasks, esp. presentations and database work)
