[CS-FSLUG] The Fast-Food Syndrome: The Linux Platform is Getting Fat

[Eduardo Sanchez]

In general, Fedora/SUSE/RH use i386 RPMs with a high number of patches, 
customizations and add-ons, not to mention special daemons, and the 
packages are compiled with less optimizations.

I know, because there were aeons of difference in performance between 
Fedora 1 and Mandrake 9.1. Mandrake starts bloated, but once you 
customize it, it gets very snappy. That's because MDK chooses always 
optimizations for space and performance.

Blessings,


Eduardo

	INFANT JOY
 
"I have no name;		Pretty joy!
I am but two days old."		Sweet joy, but two days old.
What shall I call thee?		Sweet Joy I call thee:
"I happy am,			Thou dost smile,
Joy is my name."		I sing the while;
Sweet joy befall thee!		 Sweet joy befall thee!
