I was also unpleasantly surprised not to find mc in Ubuntu/Kubuntu 
distributions. What was the reason to exclude this small but very useful 
program (size only about 0.6 Mb) from Ubuntu distro? Being direct analog to 
very popular FAR program in Windows world, mc makes life much easier for 
Windows converts. It is essential for mc to be already in distribution 
because it is often needed before any GUI and networking has been 
established. 

Some other distros, e.g. Mandriva has mc right in the installation disks.
