Star The Fast-Food Syndrome: The Linux Platform is Getting Fat
Linked by Bob Marr on Thu 10th Jun 2004 05:48 UTC
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.

There is no discussion about rewriting GNOME in C# or Java. There is discussion about allowing core components to be written in C# or Java. Big difference.
