Anyway, the Linux is a well known bloatware
Linux is not bloatware, most distributions are though. With a minimal install and some patience to recompile whathever you need you can end up with small and extremely fast installations. Mine boots in 10-15 seconds on a 600 MHz P3 with 128 megs of RAM and there is not a single bit of it which I haven't recompiled by hand, including the kernel.
