Fedora Core 2 wishlists

Hi @all,

On Mo, 08 Dez 2003, Michael K. Johnson sent incredible lines:

christmas time, wishlist time? ;-))

OK, these are the wishes from my side:

Wish 1:
    NTFS kernel support (any reason why it's not integrated?)
Reason:
    Great improvment for FC2 on workstations with Windows installed
    (think this happend very often).

Wish 2:
    JFS/XFS support (also in installation)
Reason:
    Both filesystems are stable and performing great in larger
    environmnents, so looks like an improvment for getting FC2
    focused to bigger servers also.

Wish 3:
    native IPSEC/X.509/SecurID support
Reason:
    The combination of X.509 or SecurID is mainly used in all bigger
    companies I know about, so great for focus FC2 to bigger
    companies.

Wish 4:
    Webbased CA support
Reason:
    Related to wish above, gives the administrator the possibility
    to easy manage certificates (i.e. for IPSEC). A good looking
    tool I found at http://elyca.eurodev.net/.

Wish 5:
    J2EE server
Reason:
    Many comercial companies currently develop Java application (SAP
    in the CRM i.e.). Would be nice to have a distro wich includes
    stuff like this.

Wish 6:
    newest cdrecord version
Reason:
    Either I'm to stupid or the current version is not able to use
    dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 for IDE DVD writer. This would be, focused to the
    workstation, a nice possiblilty if FC2 is able to generate DVD
    without additional tools.


I think, that's from my side so far, maybe when I think about it on
my ski vacation the next week, I will find something more which
would be great in FC2 ;-)).

... may the Tux be with you! =Thomas=

P.S.: Great work on FC1 so far!
