So far I've only been running Mandrake and Vector linux. I'm sure there's plenty of distros that would duit my needs better...
Personally, I like RedHat since it can default to a fairly barebones install to moderate barebone install depending on which option you chose at install. You can add/delete apps/libs further into the install options at you wishes. I perfer, if I have a large HD, to install everything and turn off what I'm not using. It's better to have it and not use until needed then trying to get it installed with a zillion dependencies bitching about something.
As far as bloat, it's probably XWindows is doing it. This is the reason I said years ago that if Amiga had slapped on a WB on Linux kernel, we would be jamming like Mac's OSX. Linux really needs a light weight GUI system. Maybe a future AROS side project?
