I've been spending a lot of time with debian lately (etch + lenny mostly), and some things are starting to irk me.
I'm not familiar enough with the distros to know exactly what "etch" and "lenny" are, but are these server versions or desktop?
I guess that for a "standard" and "typical" user desktop that the installer would dump everything it could on there from the beginning. Easier to do that than to depend on Joe Newbie to go fetch something later on. Sometimes installing or activating new things isn't the most straight forward thing, especially for Joe Newbie...
