Right.  This is an older machine.  It is easy to throw HD space into, harder 
and more expensive to find the older memory, an just not worth upgrading the 
CPU.  I don't want things loading at boot-up that I don't want or can't use.  
Like bluetooth, for example.  I know I can edit the start-up scripts 
in /etc/init.d, but often feel I don't know enough to do that.

I liked Warty (my first Ubuntu) because it was a very basic distro on a single 
disc that I could easily add stuff to.  It seems that the default distro, 
while still on a single disc, has grown to have a lot more stuff that many 
users won't need.
