True. But I heard it has an interesting feature: it can do compression of files, and news are text files. I will eventually switch a partition to it and try.
Compression? It seems so; I've just installed a 12.2 on a 20G drive with BtrFS alone, no separate bot partition just one long BtrFS partition, and there's enough space left over to convince me its compressed enough to install and run on a dinky little 8G drive and still have something left over. And that's with LibreOffice, all the KDE stuff ... So something like a Raspberry Pi with two USB ports ... one for the system one to have /home. No, wait, a 32G usb stick -- overkill! -- For ages, a deadly conflict has been waged between a few brave men and women of thought and genius upon the one side, and the great ignorant religious mass on the other. This is the war between Science and Faith. The few have appealed to reason, to honor, to law, to freedom, to the known, and to happiness here in this world. The many have appealed to prejudice, to fear, to miracle, to slavery, to the unknown, and to misery hereafter. The few have said "Think" The many have said "Believe!" --Robert Ingersoll (Gods) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
