Oh, yeah, the ext2 thing. I ran a dual boot with W98 on an 8G drive, 1
volume, and Slack with 2.2.3 on another disk. I finally ran fips on the 8G
cause W98 kept getting lost in it, but I used that volume for storage
under Linux with no problems. After I fips'ed it in half, W98 works OK,
too <g>.
Running 128M RAM on my main box, I can compile WINE, run WindowMaker, and
read my e-mail in Pine without ever hitting swap. I didn't believe it
either, so I logged it for a day, with 64 hits, and 47 of those under 1
mb.
Swap THAT.
Obviously, in a SIGLinux list, I'm preaching to the choir. But I'm writing
this as a Unix fanatic, not a Linux fanatic. They all have their spot. If
I was running an ISP, I'd probably use FreeBSD. When I get my RS/6000
(Next Year, O Lord, in RISC-land) I will NOT run Slack-PPC on it. AIX
kicks Linux ass, on it's home turf. The point being, it's NOT all the
same, but it ain't a better-than field.
