I'm upgrading a Sun Enterprise 250 from simple LAMP server configuration with "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop". I, too, find it horribly wasteful to see a long delay over and over with "Regenerating fonts cache..." on my console.
Another vote for this to be fixed in future release, please. -- RFE: defer font cache regeneration until last font package https://launchpad.net/bugs/25840 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
