umm. big hard-disk and "install everything" -option is pretty nice -
it's not security-vice, since it installs and activates zillions of
useless services too. and basic principle is to install only what you
need. (which is probably quite difficult for a newbie, to know what to
install and what not to install) but for standard workstation, behind a
firewall, that install everything option is quite ok, especially if you
are planning learning how things work, and find which programs suit for
you.

so check out for example redhat 7.2 - you get two cd's full of proggies
- thats a lot of programs. or suse 7.3 professional - 6 cds of software.
(or, 1 dvd). debian has been on 3+3 cd's for a while now (3 cd's
precompiled and packaged software, 3 for sources).
i mean how many programs you actually have installed in standard windows
desktop - perhaps 30? a typical linux workstation has couple of hundred
applications installed. (of course this depends on how you define an
application).
