Just for sake of conversation :) I know the actual point of astlinux is to run lean.... But to say 25MB is bloated... Makes me feel that we are still in 1972 :P /me is now running! :P
And yes compared to a dynamic bin its huge! But in the over all schema its small :) The point is to cary everything you need in one binary so you don't have to satisfy dependencies..... Most of my use cases are VM's and or mITX systems with plenty resources..... I Like AstLinux because its simplicity, clean OS, and webUI... When I have a 20GB KD Partition..... The last thing I kind of worry about are binary size.... There is certain things people do need for the sake of trouble shooting or just how their environment is driven.... I dont want to get away from AstLinux just because something is missing for me..... This is one of those where my env just runs on B2 so here I am :) I am sure Tarsnap is a no brainer and even better that is native to the AstLinux build! But it just not fit in my env. With that said, Thank you to all of the devs for the amazing work done to AstLinux!!!!!!!!!!!
