As Scott noted, you're using an older version of Fedora, and could
probably stand to upgrade, either to Fedora 7 ot the current Fedora 8.
I don't know that I'd say Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based distros (Ubuntu,
Kubuntu, Linux Mint, etc.) have "too much" installed by default, I
actually found them to be missing things I felt I needed or wanted.
The distros were very pure, i.e. KDE apps were in Kubuntu but not in
Ubuntu, which I felt cut down my choices some.
I liked Linux Mint, but I don't like the "root-less" administration
style of *buntu. It reinforces bad Windoze habits.
Fedora does tend to be more experimental; expect kernel updates every
two months. They also have a bad habit, when fixing one thing, of
breaking something somewhere else -- but that's the price of
"bleeding-edge" development. Of the two, I'd still go with Fedora.
My current favorites are KDE-based PCLinuxOS and SimplyMEPIS.
I don't know your actual ethnicity, but if you are a speaker of Parsi,
you might want to try Gnome-based Parsix.
