Sick RedHat strategy or really 3 iso bloatware?

[Nate Cole]

All,

I will be installing a new system here at work, and have had
good success in the past with RedHat.  Plus, it is explicitly
supported by most "major" vendors (ie Oracle).  Off I went to
download RH 7.3.  Wow!  Now I need to get 3 isos totaling
almost 1.7 gig!!  Even high speed will take a few hours.  Is
this some way to force people to buy CDs or is RH now so
bloated it requires a third iso?

Can I do just as well building Slack and adding RPM?  Are there
any other RPM based distros (_not_ Caldera) that are smaller
and free to download?

TIA,

Nate
