It was thus said that the Great Iggy Drougge once stated:
I recently (within the past year) installed Linux (a bastardized RedHat
5.2 to be precise) on a laptop with almost 4M of RAM and 120M harddrive.
It's a bit sluggish but for what I use it for, it's tollerable.
And yes, installing it was quite an adventure, requiring me to recompile
the Linux kernel on my base system.
-spc (Although I'm not happy with the recent directions Linux is taking)
Basically I'm just wondering if this is a
different version of Light-Weight
than I'm used to. (Of course I've run Linux and X-Windows on a 386sx/16
based laptop with Math Coprocessor and 4MB RAM, now that's a tight fit)
Linux is a big heap of bloat. It seems every UNIX is, too.
My definition of light-weight is floppy-based, sub-4 MB.
