One of my points is that ease of use and "consumerability" (yuck!) does 
not translate necessarily into "bloat". You could use easy-to-use 
distros such as libranet, knoppix or vector linux.

Additionally, you could tweak Mandrake and get a very fast distro. 
However, you can't do that with SUSE/Fedora/RH.

Blessings,
