Debian installs lean, but you can apt-get install anything in it you 
want.  If you want all the cruft you get with Redhat, you can fatten 
Debian up pretty good too :-)

Oh it *is* fun.  That's why I play with the linux desktops.  IMHO, the 
linux desktop is basically dead with the advent of OS X, but it's still 
fun to play with and it's kind of cool to show your friends that you 
can run 5 different operating systems all simultaneously on a Mac.  I 
like to sit back with a smug look on my face, while they stare it in 
disbelief, and say "so let's see your x86 box do that" :-)
