I don't think I passed this along. I tested Cobind (www.cobind.com), a 
minimalist desktop installation of Fedora Core 1. It doesn't even ask 
you which packages you want: just gives you Gnome Office (Abiword, 
gnumeric, gnucash, gaim), Firefox and Thunderbird, and the xfce window 
manager. The complete app list is on the site.

I installed it on an older Gateway (128 megs RAM, 10 gig hard drive) and 
it fit fine. Some of the apps are slow to load, but then just fly. A 
great distro for light office use.
