Hello All,
The recent war of distros on our list made me wonder if the Ubuntu OS available with all desktops, like a complete selective installation just like Mandriva or Fedora? I must say Mandriva's installer is very good as it allows fine tuning devices before the installation begins. U, Ku, Edu and X makers could come together to make this complete distro.
This is contradictory to the problem ubuntu is trying to solve.. 99% of the users do NOT want to choose from 30 web-browsers, 25 email-clients, 20 IM clients etc.. they'll use whatever is given to them.
ubuntu (the default distro) *is* is desktop distro (they have a different ISO for servers) and is quite limited by itself (as intended), though you may choose apt/synaptic to customize it as per your requirements later. BTW, your proposed full-ubuntu precedes ubuntu and is called debian.
