Ah.  You forgot SuSE.  I am not sure which one out of the two is more bloated.  
Actually they are all getting to be too much but like you said in a previous 
post, there are some distributions where a minimal install is still doable.

I can be that way and still not bloat the system.  However I do like to tweak 
etc. so having a compiler handy never hurts my feelings any.  I doubt I'd still 
be using computers if that wasn't true.  I have yet to see an 'out-of-the-box' 
install I would use for any length of time.  I'd get bored with it too fast.
