Linux bloating.

[Carl Parrish]

Which version of RH are you using? I have at least 3 boxes here without
KDE or Gnome on it and they are running fine. When I was installing my
Router / Firewall I did find out that the min installation was *way*
more than I would have wanted it (around 350MB) but since its a 2 gig
Harddrive and I'm storing the log files on another machine I just let it
slide. There are distro just for small installs (The Linux router
project looks good).
