$$$ and marketing.

Quantity doesn't give something more Quality. How many of
those 8000 packages are you going to use? Probably the ~30
packages available on red hat.
The 600mb is probably reserved for their nice but unflexible rpm
system.

Neither.. FreeBSD is the answer.
You might consider finding some more appropriate place to ask this
(besides being enitirely OT). What flavor of Linux to be used can be
discussed for hours at end. Some research and googling would
benefit also.
