You did see his reply to mine and my reply to him.  He's installing a lot more ubuntu programs than normal as he wants the kitchen sink on that machine.  I have 1767 programs installed and he wants about 900 or so more out of a total of 26204 available.  One could fill up a drive using all the available programs but who would.
