Ubuntu and default Gnome backgrounds
 

Each release of GNOME comes with some default backgrounds. Why are they
not included in Ubuntu?

Is there any easy way to get those backgrounds in Ubuntu 8.10?

Not sure about 8.10, but it'll hardly hurt to try typing sudo apt-get
install gnome-backgrounds and find out.

Yes, the package gnome-backgrounds is the answer. I wonder why it wasn't
made to be installed by default.

Space maybe? Many distros used to use the kitchen sink approach. I
remember an early SuSe I used (pre-DVD days) that came with 7 CDs. I think,
especially with live CDs and broadband, the approach is more minimal than it
used to be.

Anyway, glad you got them. I was rushing out the door, and re-reading my
reply it sounded a little curt. I am still using 8.04 (with Linux Mint
icing on top), so I didn't know if the backgrounds were in the 8.10 repos,
but since it wasn't like alsa or somthing I didn't figured it'd hurt to try.

I had recently gone searching for them myself.
