In the case of KUbuntu, if the network isn't functional at install time, 
the apt repository config won't be set up properly. I dare say it's 
possible to fix this up subsequently, but it's much easier to not get 
into the situation in the first place.

BTW, KUbuntu now always sets itself to DHCP if there's a DHCP server 
available, although it can be persuaded otherwise if that's what you 
want. (I have DHCP available for visitors, but the permanent members of 
my network are static.)

Absolutely. The default KUbuntu setup is reasonably tough - there isn't 
much listening by default - but even so, not having to worry about the 
occasional lapse is important for a desktop IMO.

Will.
