True enough :)

Yeah I think I'm definitely in the category that would call it bloat. I want 
everything I need to run pov and be able to download & install other stuff 
as needed, but that's all. And I'm even happy to use windows for the 
downloading.

Okay now that just terrifies me because I have a very strong opinion about 
what cars are best! For point of reference: lotus elise, caterham 7, noble, 
all very good. Lamborghini, Enzo, Zonda, beautiful and fast at but somehow 
not as technically impressive as the first group. Porsche Cayenne (that's 
the SUV), oh my god no. So basically I'd appreciate it if you can point me 
in the direction of a lightweight, good handling build of linux, with a 
decent power to weight ratio but lacking the luxury of most cars, and most 
definitely a manual gearbox :)
