So we cant post directly to recurring discussions? We can only post there by 'getting in trouble' so to speak? Thats kind of silly.
Anyway, I think the Ubuntu CD is just right....Why not use all of the space that fits on the disk? Its not like 700mb, even unpacked, is going to bog down a modern low end system from the last 7 years....and that is the majority of people in the western world, so its a good idea to have a full featured and rich OS for the masses rather than trying to make your ultra light weight version the default....other groups have that focus and its fine that they do.
But what about the Ubuntu DVD version? What if I want a much fatter installation just loaded with support for anything i can think of, and an impressive array of useful apps depending on my needs.....The only version that is "fat enough" here is Ubuntu Studio.....but what about a fully loaded office version, developer version or gamer version? What if you have dial up and want it all on the DVD instead of your network connection?
I think we need some fatter specialty distros just loaded with codecs and drives, to the extent that is legal, and allow the rest to be in Multiverse with a disclaimer to check your local laws first.
