Some people never learn. They play with the monkey (Mono) and they get burned. [via pointer from reader "Needs Sunlight"]

"The best solution is to avoid Mono and go back to Java Server Pages," writes the reader. Will Ubuntu follow suit? ⬆

Ubuntu 8.10, aka Intrepid Ibex, will ship soon.

A 650MB CD can only hold so much redundancy.

We'll find that a lot of useful but low profile packages have been removed to make room for the 100's of megabytes used by mono and the mono-based packages that duplicate the functions of existing packages.

Just like with a Wikipedia article, MS is able to dilute a full distro. We can make room for more functionality to the basic installation CD by clearing away mono and its dependent packages .
