I remember in the early 1990's that the Sun 4.1 installer was incredibly bloated and required too much memory/cpu to anyone who had installed a PDP, IBM 360x, etc. And the arguments we had when the Fedora Core 1 being so bloated to the Red Hat Linux 4 installer. etc etc. The standard ending of these conversations is "coders these days just don't care about memory/cpu/disk space like we had to". [Completely forgetting that was what they were told when they were 20 years younger.] Of course, if memory/cpu/disk was really important... you could still use that Fedora Core 1 as your daily driver. It would just take some work. -- Stephen J Smoogen. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Flame wars in sci.astro.orion. I have seen SPAM filters overload because of Godwin's Law.
