My email client uses around 2gb of ram firefox usually is using
between
512Mb and 1Gb your statement for me is false.
Read the message, especially "SOHO server". Most people are not
running
email clients and Firefox on servers.
That doesn't make it a sensible argument or target. My IRC proxy VM
sits there using about 20MB of RAM. That's a perfectly useful
installation of Fedora. So should our target be to fit our sophisticated
graphical installer in 20MB of RAM, something it hasn't managed for at
least a decade? Really?
This thread continues to get more absurd. Everyone agrees it would be
good to make the installer as efficient as possible. It is open source
code. Check it out from git and go to work. Patches to
anaconda-devel-list. The anaconda team is aware that memory usage could
be optimized; however, you may have noticed they're a _tad_ busy with
other things too. Is there anything more to say in this thread? Given
that no silly usage / historical comparisons anyone can make are going
to magically result in a halving of the RAM use of the installer?
