I agree.  I don't consider myself a developer, as it doesn't take all that 
much more than hello world to start losing me (slight exaggeration), yet I 
still want some basic devel packages and a compiler installed on my system.  
I didn't think that what I was installing is not a desktop/laptop 
configuration just because I want devel packages to compile and install 
wireless drivers, or run the vmware config script to get the vmware 
workstation modules for my kernel...  I'm sure that there are lots of other 
users who have drivers and/or software they want to compile in order to use 
use.  I don't think there are as many Linux users not using a compiler as 
some seem to think...
