I tried the current stable yesterday and i must say i was disapointed.
First, like many here, by the insane amout of mem it sucked. But then
i was more impressed by the reaction of the freenet ppl. So i put
my rant too. But don't get me wrong i work on oss too, i know that
you just do what you feel like doing. And it's good so :)

RAM is NOT CHEAP !!!!! You perhaps live in a wealty contry and have big
money. But this is a privilege, not more. RAM is fucking expansive
by my standards (and yes i live in a wealty contry) and freedom can be
an end only if it's freedom for all. Otherwise you just create a new
caste of privilegied. Do we really need one more ??

I just took a quick look at this list and could find several ppl in
the same position as i. We have good "old" server (mine is a celeron
400 with 128MB) witch can handle ANY of todays servers easily. So
we would like to run a frennet node. But we just can't !!!!

Sure but again if it's a network of eltist who expect you to buy
a new computer just to be able to run a permanent node i don't
see the point.
