have to agree w/ Charles (as an adjunct professor)  even if I don't 
agree w/ Aaron - and maybe another reason tenure needs to be abolished :)

meanwhile the absence of build-essential and vim on the install disk 
make it brutal to try to fix a laptop whose wireless does not work w/o a 
plug in network connection.    And since an "install" disk is "supposed" 
to get the system installed - it's really frustrating that Ubuntu 
chooses not to include these valuable install tools in lieu of apps w/ 
bloated libs that very few really use (and there are far more compact 
replacements ie gnote instead of tom-boy)...   It's much easier to flash 
drive a tarred driver over that can be compiled than to try to flash 
over build-essential dependencies.
