Hi
I am inclinded to sympathise with Roachy's view. Apart from a very brief
flirtation with Fedora I have nothing to compare Ubuntu with. However, I feel
that the ideal approach for any distro should be to install the OS and
management utilities from the live CD, then leave the rest to the choice of the
user. There is no reason, of course, why the installation procedure should not
present a list of recommended applications, from which the user can make a
selection. It would enable the distro developers to concentrate on things like
reliability and boot-time performance, rather than trying to squeeze the most
applications possible into a 700MB ISO. This way anybody wanting a really light
system can have one by default, but those users who want a large portfolio of
applications can very easily get it. Surely, that's precisely the sort of
choice that Linux is supposed to be about.
Regards
Nige
