People I know use all sorts of browsers on Unix: firefox, mozilla,
opera, conquerer, ...

> Or they have "shortcuts" on their "start menus"?

I still use fvwm and avoid all more enhanced desktops if possible ;-)

This has been tried before, but it will break all simple usage
of command line utilities (and there are hundreds of these).
I personally don't see the point of using spaces in file names,
but opinions may differ on this topic.

As for the rest: I'd like to see a list of those settings an
installer should find out for itself (as they are platform dependent
and there is no real choice for the user) and those that are
truly user-selectable due to personal preferences etc. These may
also depend on the platform. Such a document may might be a start
for an installer redesign (if we don't go for the system-dependent
installation packages at last). It will be a tedious work to
do that though.
