[SLUG] I don't run Debian because it is a 14 CD "kitchen sink" distro ...

[ Be sure to note the "P.S." before you respond. ;-]

Debian comes on 14 CDs (or 2 DVDs).
It is a "kitchen sink" distro.

Fedora Core is much "leaner" at 4 CDs.
Plus I can install just want I need from Fedora over the Internet from a
4MB CD image.
Or I can even grab a 6MB FAT image and boot from my FlashDrive on my key
ring!

I like to install Fedora in a 90MB "minimal install."
And then I YUM everything else.

Sometimes I install X, GTK+, APT and Synaptic.
And then I "point'n click" what I need.

It's very intuitive.

Unlike Debian.
It's bloated and unorganized.

P.S. See what I mean? This example post shows _total_ignorance_ of
Debian! That's _exactly_ what you're doing with _Fedora_!
