Yes, I have noticed.
People often reply to come to mailing list saying "I have installed
the brand new Ubuntu" and yet they have something like 4-year-old
ConTeXt.
This is nothing bad. It's just a bad luck in this particular case, but
we'll solve it.

Not really. Just the first line of
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals/Implementation
that says
svn co http://svn.contextgarden.net/minimals-src/build-binaries
and then you need to run the script build-binaries (but it will fail
since you don't have the rights yet).
You may try to run ./update-binaries.sh first and then compile pdftex
to start with (it returns warnings, but feel free to ignore them; the
binary should nevertheless be there). We can create you an account,
but we need to talk first just to agree on the building schedule.

Are you planning to use MKII (pdftex) or MKIV (unicode and opentype
fonts with luatex)? In TeX Live the MKIV support is hardly usable, but
feel free to go testing TeX Live. You may install TL 2009 in a really
minimalistic way. (Almost the same size as minimals, and in completely
isolated folder.)
