I think some of it is bloat. Look at Linux 10 years ago and look at it now.

I think the first time I installed Linux it came on 3 or maybe 5 micro

That would make sense with what Alan said. 10 years ago you could get linux on
a handful of floppies, but it was command line only.
Today's DVD version has 17 different graphical window managers and hundreds of
bits of eye candy. Good points!
