But... If you strip out the things that make Ubuntu nice for "anyone" to
use, you end up with a plain old kernel, where someone installs the
disk, has 800x600 VESA graphics, no sound card support, no wireless at
all, a web browser that can't access half of the web sites out there
because of flash/java, and the user then says "This sucks" and
re-installs Windows.
