You need a decent Internet connection, but the available room on a CD is no longer a problem, and GIMP is present, of course.
After all, Ubuntu is based on Debian, why not stick to the original, rather than to deviant copy?

Yes, friend of mine was tehre, confirmed it too. (btw, it evenshowed
up in slashdot).
IMHO, stupidiest decision ever - they _want_ their users to be dumb
and continue that way. As for me, up to today I used to recomend
ubuntu to people I presented Free Software. (despite some ongoing
really great flaws, like translating the name of special user folders
such as Desktop and Documents). Now, with the promise of a GIMPless
Ubuntu, I will burn some other distro for people to taste Linux and
Free Software.
