too much bloat

[Andrey Vul]

The base install has a lot of bloat, such as UUID's in fstab and
unneeded crap in alsa rules and /etc/modules.d/ and is too automated
for my liking.
Which is more poweruser-friendly, debian, fedora, or other?
I pretty much want a binary distro that gives you almost as much
choice as gentoo *and supports jfs*, yet just works? My candidates so
far are debian-unstable and fedora-(7 or 8, whichever has jfs support)
(haven't tested either yet)?
