In an article by Mick Bauer in the June 2006 Linux Journal the following packages statistcs were quoted: Debian 15,000 Suse !0.0 4,000 RHEL ES4 1,700 (includes Extras) Well feeling that FC5 was bloated since growing to 5 CD-s I decided to count the RPMS. The result was 2190. Mick Bauer says that RedHat wants to be slim and trim. I am awed by the comparison of numbers of packages. I know there are Extras but still I never knew we were slim and trim before. -- Aaron Konstam <akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
