The 2.6Gb download tells you that. ;-) How much of that is down to hardware support? I mean, a set of freeBSD iso's (which I love) is about half that, each set supports a single architecture, and the hardware support is about as minimum as you can get (I still can't use half the hardware I have, and I haven't done a serious upgrade in almost 3 years). Solaris for Intel is like what, 3-4 gigs now for the installer? I seem to remember needing 5 or 6 CD's to install that a year or so ago. 2.6 gigs for the installer for an OS that supports multiple cpu's and every kind of hardware you can imagine doesn't seem that big of a deal to me. And really, even if the install itself has a huge footprint, I'm more interested in kernel security and efficient device access than hard drive space. |

They are too dumb to get it. Do American's think the government should intervene here? Has the government given the ****wits a legal pen (for the right price) and told them they can write up any laws they like? WTF? Might be time for other governments to band together and form their own software organization. All participating countries give their citizens this OS FREE. I nominate Russia to get the ball rolling - a good communist country! I think it's about time certain American and other capitolistic country's businesses were conquered and dominated by communism! Go commies Go! |

My guess is that piracy will go thru the roof - as it should.
