Solaris-like distro?

["Thien Vu" <thien_vu@hotmail.com>]

Hi all,

I recently used Solaris and really liked the idea of a core system
installation. This is the type of installation that gives the most
basic/essential parts of the system (although there are drivers/other
packages that can be removed). Along with the core system installation, Sun
provides Recommended & Security updates weekly for free.

My question is: Is there a similar Linux distro that has a similar paradigm?
This seems to work best because I don't want to install every component of a
basic Linux system from scratch and at the same time I would rather not have
the bloat associated with many distros (unneeded packages due to
dependencies).

I'm aware of the following system administration oriented distros: Sorcerer,
LinuxFromScratch, and Rock-Linux. I've also used Redhat.

As usual, will summarize.

Thien
