GNOME and KDE happened. Also, glibc itself has bloated quite a bit over the last 5-10 years, mostly because of internationalization support... I wish I could run a whole system on top of a non-bloaty but current libc. I haven't seen any distributions that do this. ulibc? newlib? Near as I can tell dietlibc is only ment for static linking. None are a drop-in replacement for glibc. I have a P133 laptop thats cursed with only 8mb RAM... Maybe someday I'll try that whole linux from scratch thing... _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
