Pluggers!
Check out this article. This is basically agrees with my position that X
Windows is hopelessly bloated and in fact even getting much bigger as we speak.
Creeping featurism, poor design, inefficient code, they are all slipping into
what was once our favorite compact and lightweight OS. Even now we can't have a
linux kernel that is less than 500MB.
SO what is X? It's old technology being constantly added on to be able to "live
another day" in the age modern computing requirements.
Bloated X-windows is the reason why we all can't have a _usable_ GUI desktop
on a 486 with 32 MB, and why, even at 192MB, with Dual Celeron 400s, my
KDE desktop is barely making a "satisfactory" performance rating for me.
