I have tried RH, Mandrake, SuSE and Slackware Linux distros. Sure, you can uninstall things later, but the only one that really gave me a choice of specific packages to install from the get-go was Slackware.

Mandrake: I installed it few times about 6 months to 1 year ago and I remember playing with package selector for quite some time. DURING installation. It also let me choose which services to run (to start at boot).


Debian: runs dselect during install so you can choose whatever you want (individual packages)

I am not 100% sure about RH and know nothing about suse...
