What Ryan Coleman said about the space is a factor.

I'm not the greatest sysadmin so from my perspective adding a known
set of things makes more sense than subtracting a changing set of
things.  With Fedora it looks like it would be subtracting dozens of
services.  (I only know what a few of those are and am not that
interested in figuring out what the others are.  Probably professional
sysadmins know what every process does, but I don't so I have to
do some research to figure out what is and isn't needed.)

OK, but I've not checked out other possibilities recently so think it
makes sense to do so.
