  It still seems to be far too many categories.
For example, the edutainment (which is a
horrible name) : if there is only, say five edutainment
programs, you would want them in the 'edutainment'
folder, not in submenus beneath edutainment.
 Maybe this is more of a display-issue than organisational,
but I'd rather go into the Applications/Internet/ and see
....
Mozilla (Browser/Email/News)
Konqueror(Browser)
Opera(Browser)
Knode(News)
Kontact(Email/News/Calendar/..)
....

- Also, 'Applicatons' is such a techie name for Programs
Isn't there a better name?

- CD Burning (Should be CD/DVD btw.) is hardly its own category,
but rather fits under Media/ , System/Archiving/, System/Backup/

-  Configuration/Packaging/ ?
Configure how _I_ want to make _my_ rpms?
If its about Add/Remove programs it should be called that, otherwise
it should be under Development/

-  Configuration/Boot and Init/ move deeper to maybe
'Configuration/Configure your system/Boot & Init'
Although 'Configuration/Configure your system' could
be 'Configuration/System' instead to avoid repetition.

-  Applications/Accessibility and Languages/ should not be under
Applications/ but under Configuration/ unless it's tools like Magnifyers
and such (which I'd call 'Helpers' instead)

- Applications/Finances/  feels more like an Office category
I believe that even home-users feel they do 'Office'-stuff when
they are dealing with their finances.

-  Applications/Documentation/ should rather be Help/Documentation/
Documentation is not an application,  and people would hardly look
for XXManViewer among their programs.

- Multimedia -> Media would be an improvement.

- Entertainment -> Fun (& Games) would be an improvement.



Like 15cents...
