It's a good thing that I didn't actually suggest that then, isn't it? Linux still performs far better than Windows on low resource machines. The fact that all hardware marches on over time doesn't change that. I'm running four server boxes on a VM host which has 4GB of RAM. I used to fit them in 1.5GB, and still could if I had to. I wouldn't want to try that with Windows. I'm not saying we should just design to whatever the latest Alienware state of the art box is. All I said was that Kevin was taking things to extremes by citing the requirements of a nine year old release. Unless you think Kevin's post was a perfectly sensible one and I was wrong to call BS on it... -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
