The kernel is not huge though. Even a modern Linux kernel runs on really, really resource limited hardware ( eg. embedded ). As said above, it is all the other crap that takes up memory and slows it down ( and makes it useful of course ). It is not the Linux kernel that makes the Linux Desktop so much heavier than Haiku though. |

Saying that, the first machine I tried (and failed) to install Slackware 1 on was I think a 486 with 8MB of RAM, and I am not sure 21st century Linux will fit on that...
