The thing I would really like to see added to nos is a terminal 
emulaton and a screens aproach to each session.. with the addition of 
these it would be rather nice to use.

Yep Same here... I want to see all of the packages keep going each 
offers different things to different people.. I for one use 
mint/linux/nos/stik and hopefully oasis 2 once the telnet bit is in 
there to access the net.. just depends what Im currently playing with 
:)
