There are definitely minimal ways to install Linux. For example, Damn
Small Linux is, well, damn small, and Debian's base install doesn't even
have less or sudo, let alone a GUI. As for dependency hell, I know that
at least Debian has superb handling of dependencies. (I haven't actually
used Damn Small Linux, so I don't know how well it handles that.)

(Similarly, this isn't meant to be a bash of WBEL or FreeBSD. It's just
meant to give a fuller picture.)
