Hey,
Continuing with the theme from last week -
"In computing, sentences of the form "X will be enough" for some integer X
usually turn out to be wrong :) I agree that for basic desktop use or
whatever that will be fine, but you never know when someone building
something more complex out of Solaris or some advanced admin will have
needs that are somewhat out of the ordinary."
- Mike Shapiro, talking about default number of virtual consoles
