They've crammed like 4 complete desktop environments + all the accompanied accoutrements that are DE specific into 4.3GB.  The 'everything' iso is frickin' 10GB.

My latest Debian .iso live-build compresses from ~2.5GB to ~810MB with hardly an GUI components.  Dang, I just though of a few tricks to get that build size down a tad. :cool:
