Everything is getting bigger, I was trying to install RHEL6 on a 2GB firewall 
machine, and it failed because it couldn't configure KDUMP with 2GB of RAM. Did 
give me a working install, though, but I think things after KDUMP didn't get 
setup, big machines seem to run longer after that setup.

Think I'm going with DragonFly BSD anyway, Linux has some serious networking 
limitations for what I want to do.
