SUSE gives you choice on any level you want. From high level (KDE-, Gnome- or simple X desktop, minimal system without X) and selections (like office, development, webserving, ...) down to package level all at installation time. You don't have to use the default selection. You don't even have to install yast if you don't want. From the toplevel screen you're just two choices away from detailed package selection.

And of course, changing your choice later is no more a problem, than on any other distro.

The minimum graphical system is 745.8MB large, the "minimum system" has 446.3MB, but can be brought down by manual package selection to 150MB.
