Largely because Windows keeps everything in a "registry" that has to load and execute every time the system is booted, pre-loading any requirements or requests for anything and everything that *might* be called on to run, ever. That, of course, means that any and everything ever installed has it's stub loaded into RAM, whether it needs it or not. ( which makes them exploitable as well ) *nix on the other hand, loads only what it needs to at the moment, plus any extras specifically called in the start up scripts, which are then swapped out to disk until they need to actually execute, with a few exceptions. ( KDE is terrible for emulating Windows in this regard ) > Of course you are always free to build up your own Linux distro (of your > choice) and install Rivendell on it yourself. I seem to remember someone did exactly that a while ago...... Something about a LiveCD. ( now hopelessly outdated ) Seemed to perform well, but it was a lot of work. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
