Eh well, don’t compare it with something from the last century ;) My baseline is the etch-m68k+unstable from ~2009 what was on the ARAnyM image from Stephen Marenka where I started off. Also, you do have to admit that the modern images do more… I could’ve have thrown out udev, sure, just setting three links in /etc/rc.local on top of devtmpfs works well (and in fact, I’ve run all machines like that for years), but I specifically made these recent image and tarball to be stock Debian, whose defaults are a bit more universal. Finally, I think boot times are less important than responsiveness. Granted, sarge probably has us there, but… I found kde-plasma-desktop usable. I’m not a fan of KDE 4. Sure, that was on a VM with 188 BogoMIPS and via tightvncserver (due to lack of X), but still, that’s impressive. I’d still rather use icewm or evilwm myself, though not just for the speed bonus, but it was *usable*. bye, //mirabilos -- 22:59⎜<Vutral> glaub ich termkit is kompliziert | glabe nicht das man damit schneller arbeitet | reizüberflutung │ wie windows │ alles evil zuviel bilder │ wie ein spiel | 23:00⎜<Vutral> die meisten raffen auch nicht mehr von windows | 23:01⎜<Vutral> bilderbücher sind ja auch nich wirklich verbreitet als erwachsenen literatur ‣ who needs GUIs thus? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
