Re: 100 times more?

"Running just a single browser in Linux tends to eat up 4+ GB of memory, plus whatever services, X and the window manager all use."

Come back QNX and their demo disk. "Each disk boots and loads completely from a 1.44 meg floppy disk. No hard disk is required! Each disk contains the OS, GUI, PPP or networking, Web browser, file browser, and several demo applications." What more do you want?

Again: boots and runs from a 1.44MB floppy disk, not a 600MB compact disk.
