This is the thing I like most about ubuntu. I install it and get a
good default.  It's so easy to install and remove programs afterwards
that anyone who wants a development machine for example can simply
install it.

And then you have the "custom" installer boot prompt...

I LOVE the fact that there is no tasksel in ubuntu.
