This definitely is a good point.  If you look at it this way, Ubuntu is beating the hell
out of Vista, since with Vista you still
need to install everything else you need.  And then it is wrong comparing Ubuntu with any
other OS in terms of size.

 

If you want a slimmed down install, you might want to look into something 

like CentOS (or Debian).

 

What would be nice would be either a full-featured installer (so that you 

can pick and choose items), or an n-lite-like tool for Ubuntu.  You may 

want to do some Googling for respinning or remastering Ubuntu.

 

If ReactOS would ever consider adding applications to their installation I hope this will
be their approach from the start.  

 

Or check out Fedora:  it gives you easy, n-lite tools for remixing it:  

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Remix

 

Will look into it. Thanks.
