Unlike the Windows world, you get plenty of additional software
applications already included;
Multiple email clients, Multiple word/office applications, Multiple Web
Browsers, CD/DVD Burning software(with multiple front ends), Build in
firewall and anti-virus protection, Multiple Desktop Mangers(not just a
different look of the same one), SQL server/database, email/ftp/Web
Servers and lots more......See the total package list here;
http://www.redhat.com/software/linux/technical/packages.html
Compared to the Windows world equivalents (roughly); Windows 2000 Server,
Office 2002, Roxio's CD/DVD Creator 6, IIS Server, Microsoft's SQL-2000
server, Microsoft's Visual C++ and McAfee's Internet Security Suite. Try
installing the just them and see how much room is taken up on the hard
drive.
