If you imagine the efforts on LTSP etc., a thin client needn't and definitely shouldn't be specced like a "general desktop". If you needed a 2GHz dual core and 2GB of RAM in every thin client, what would the point of having thin clients be? Where is the cost or power saving? It is a dumb concept, but this is what Linux forces
A thin client needs kernel, X server, and uses a server for applications so it does not require as much RAM or CPU speed as a typical desktop. It does not need all of the features of a desktop OS, so I'd not be making a default openSUSE install in such cases.
Right, so you're lecturing me on making a thin client now? Thanks, Rob.
Actually, I was agreeing with your point about reduced requirements. You're the person pushing the hardware with 128MiB RAM and 1MB/s disk; it's not suitable for a general default configuration. IMO it is nor reasonable to expect openSUSE to customise the system to meet your requirements.
So checking quickly, I just do not see any evidence to support 11.1 being "bloaty" compared to 10.3.
Forget it, Rob.
Sure will, as facts seem to be a problem and don't support the statements you made. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
