    Most Linux distros I've used let you choose what apps to install... of course, this can be a long and tedious process when you're searching through 500 of them. :)

    Umm... I would say that you did since you're so overly concerned about how much space it would take on your hard drive. Do you often like to complain about things that won't affect you at all? I...

    No, no, no... there is a difference between "no-ops" and "not quite the same ratio of advancement to increased disk space". Vista will have more than XP. Presumably, a lot more. I wouldn't say it's...

    Yes... 15GB. What do you want, time to stop? I don't think they're using the space for buffered garbage... I'm sure a majority of it is going to use. So what's the problem with 15GB when you have it?...

    15GB? That's really not that much these days, where computers are coming out with 1TB+ of Hard Disk Space. If you buy hard drives, the price isn't in the disk space it's in the RPMs. You can go from...

    I wouldn't trust those requirements... they say "at least", which means they probably mean running Windows Vista in "Windows 2000" mode as the Visual Style. It's like car commercials... they say it...
