Ubuntu is a great destkop... but if you install off of their live CD, you should know before hand that it does NOT include GCC... a slight oversight??
I don't know if it's an oversight as much as that they are trying to go in a "desktop distribution" direction and the powers that be consider that those who want to use it as a development platform will know how to get GCC, as well as which version they want, as there are several available in the Ubuntu repositories. On the same note, IMHO the reason they don't include GCC in the standard install is to lighten things up a little for the "desktop distribution" target audience who will most likely never touch GCC. -- Alex Esplin /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
