I know that Ubuntu includes more packages as a base install than Debian. What packages are included. Is there a list somewhere?

http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/base/

(Note exactly sure. I have installed Debian and Ubuntu, and I noticed no major differences in packages)

You can get a list using the following series of commands:


sudo apt-get install debootstrap


mkdir temp


debootstrap --print-debs hardy temp


Replace hardy with the distro you want. e.g etch


Edit: In addition to the list you get, you have to add a metapackage called linux-generic

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/source/Sources.gz && zcat Sources.gz | grep Package: && rm Sources.gz

Everything in 'main' (that comes on the CD)
