In SUSE, that would be something like 3000+ packages (out of 3400+).
For FC, that would be approximately 1600 package (I think).

But still, I don't see any relevance or viability to saying, "SUSE must be 
better because they install lots of junk I don't need in only 1 hour, where 
FC took me 2 hours to install all that junk and there wasn't as much junk."  
Um, maybe I just found the relevance?

I still don't think that Red Hat (RHEL or FC) minimal installs are very 
minimal.  On FC4, I can strip out 60 packages pretty quickly following a 
minimal install.  Sure a few usually end up coming back due to dependencies, 
but most don't.  All that without even really trying.

No comment.
