i was looking for a huge distro for a desktop that has a very slow (slower than 56K) internet conenction. i want it to have a LOT of applications already on the CD instead of downloading it.
my own PC has a fast internet connection, so i can afford to download lots of ISO files.
so which (free beer) distro has the most apps? (it doesn't have to be easy to use)

I would say right now Fedora Core 3, it is on 4 cd's ( or 1 DVD) of course there could be others.

SuSE Pro 9.2
they even add all that P.I.T.A. stuff to configure like getting Konqueror to recognize your JVM.

Debian Sarge (http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/cd-images/debian-weekly/i386/) has 7 cds of software binaries, and 7 cds of source. I would reccomend Debian, because it is stable and easy to install (with the new and improved installer)
