Since when does Linux NEED more than 1.58Gb? Linux can run on as little as 200
megs if your really pushing it. ( that means fewer cool things like perl,
python, KDE, GNOME, etc )
Linux with KDE *or* GNOME and GCC wont take anymore than about 400-500 Megs
( this is including all that great linux stuff like, file utils, almost every
compressor, dial-up software, firewalls, routing software, etc. the list goes
on and on )
Did i mention ultimate Un*x Multithreading, Multiuser that Linux is based on?
GNU/Linux vs Microcrap
the battle was over before is began.
p.s. if you only have a dial-up ISP ( like me ) and are rather sick, you can
take the few days it takes to download Linux for free.
