GCC is a developer tool. If you are not doing development, or using
source code, then it is not needed. Seeing as K/Ubuntu is targeted to
the general public, GCC is not needed. However, it is a simple apt-get
install away.
If you are doing development, or need to install something from source,
then you need to install the build environment:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
That installs GCC, Make, and other related packages. You may need to
install other DEV packages as well, depending on just what it is you are
doing.

I was shocked that GCC seems to be missing in Kubuntu!
Chris says that the advantage of Ubuntu is the regular update cycles. While
this is not likely all that important to me it is good to know that if I do
need to update a package that likely it will be more up-to-date than in Debian.
Can others confirm this?
Thing is that if they don't bother to include GCC in Kubuntu then who is that
version targeted to?
If I start with the server edition then is this more complete? I'm going to
want to be running a KDE desktop. Should I just stay with Kubuntu and add in
everything that seems to be missing which seems to be an aweful lot?
Opinions?
