Hi folks!
> And the real problem of a big kernel is????
Sometimes people want just what they
need. Do you want your cousin's cycle
in a living room? Stuff one even don't
know what is it for? Drivers for scsii
you don't have?
I would like freebsd as neat as possible.
It _is_ simple and neat. What I do not get
is why system _must_ have "newbies" and
what "newbies" in this situation are.
Is there any dead-line for something?
Million "newbies" till the end of year?
As for everything, one _must_ exercise
and learn. It is, btw, the pleasure of
living. Why does freebsd need graphic
install if it matters once-twice in a
year?
Openbsd discourages from recompiling for
onother reason. Security. If someone
likes it, ok, if not, ok. If the system
is broken, is it over for the rest of
life? Of course not.
Openvms doesn't use customised kernel too. ;-)
Best regards
Zoran
