While it's not a "bug" in the classical sense, the developers and other 'gurus' there need to know that having to do a 140MB ADDITIONAL download on EVERY "new" install (for the new O.O. version, security and library updates, and any other additions since August, '06) both sucks YOUR bandwidth, and ours, and, IMHO, also makes Ubuntu look pretty lame to a total "noob"!
Why can't (at least) the updates be placed on a public server so they can be downloaded ONCE and burned to a CD? A must have on this, however, is that some way to "automagically" install these to any existing "virgin" Dapper (or Edgy as it may be) release must be provided for foolproof use, AND FOR verification and validation of the updates! Hypothetically speaking, on an "LTS" release, in 4 years from its offering, the updates may be gigabyte or more, and even a T3 line would "choke-n-puke" on that! Please, quarterly, release a new, tested, and "approved" Ubuntu "maintenance" ISO and make it clear that the prior ISO is now for archive use only! Thanks!
