Before i start i must say i always like the idea of freenet. I tried it a couple time long ago but i never had enouth disk space to devote. I tried the current stable yesterday and i must say i was disapointed. First, like many here, by the insane amout of mem it sucked. But then i was more impressed by the reaction of the freenet ppl. So i put my rant too. But don't get me wrong i work on oss too, i know that you just do what you feel like doing. And it's good so :) > As I have said on numerous occasions: RAM is cheap. Freedom or working > software is not cheap, it's bloody expensive. RAM is NOT CHEAP !!!!! You perhaps live in a wealty contry and have big money. But this is a privilege, not more. RAM is fucking expansive by my standards (and yes i live in a wealty contry) and freedom can be an end only if it's freedom for all. Otherwise you just create a new caste of privilegied. Do we really need one more ?? > 79MB is way under what > most nodes use. We may be able to get perm node usage down to 80MB at > some point, but it's not an immediate priority. I just took a quick look at this list and could find several ppl in the same position as i. We have good "old" server (mine is a celeron 400 with 128MB) witch can handle ANY of todays servers easily. So we would like to run a frennet node. But we just can't !!!! > Don't you think it would be nice to have a working network? Sure but again if it's a network of eltist who expect you to buy a new computer just to be able to run a permanent node i don't see the point.
