Linux Consider these memory requirements for Fedora Core 2, as specified by Red Hat: Minimum for graphical: 192MB and Recommended for graphical: 256MB Does that sound any alarm bells with you? 192MB minimum? I've been running Linux for five years (and am a huge supporter), and have plenty of experience with Windows, Mac OS X and others. And those numbers are shocking -- severely so. No other general-purpose OS in existence has such high requirements. Linux is getting very fat.

Efficiency

I totaly agree with the writer. The huge potential of spreading linux on the win98/winNT machines is there we need to grab it.
There is no excuse for creating fancy apps which consumes a lot of RAM.
Developers pls have efficiency as a goal as important as functionality for your apps
