Yes, I found that in the Community Forums and it did work. However, you are wrong in your assertion that Ubuntu allows you to compile hello.c with nothing more than installing a few packages. There is nothing in the standard packages that includes build-essential. Try it: Do a fresh installation on a clean machine and, without using the sudo apt-get, try to compile hello.c. You will not be able to.
One poster on Community Forums said that Ubuntu should include build-essential with any development packages as a dependency. I can't currently install Ubuntu completely on friends' computers who don't have internet connectivity. I'll have to bring their computers to my house. I'm adding this sudo apt-get to my list of things to do on each computer. Let me say, Ubuntu 6.10 is by far the best Linux distro I've ever seen! It installs smoothly and works great.
