Subject: Re: Debian or Ubuntu for a desktop box?
Just made me think of something.

I'm running ubuntu on my server now as Deb's 64bit port was broken last I
checked. I've had a number of annoyances with it.

All related to what gets installed by default. What doesn't go in. Things
like traceroute and whois. Things like C compilers. Not hard to fix, but
annoying when they're not there.

Alex Dean spoke forth with the blessed manuscript:
