Distro dvd with most programs already installed

Distributions with large-sized dvd downloads are available for centos, slackware, opensuse, pclinuxos etc.

I wanted to know which distro has largest number of programs already installed and ready to run from menu immediately after installation?

Thanks for your responses.

Hello,

Before I try to answer this question, you do know that regardless what distro you download with many packages, you still need to connect to the internet to download the latest versions and bug fixes, correct? Besides that, Fedora is good for having quite a few programs that come with it. But just like any other distro, you can find most programs and applications through each distro's package manager/management system.

Cheers,

Josh

Don't know about the other distro DVDs, but here's what you get with Slackware:

Some of those will have been updated by now.
