Get rid of your Linux bloat. Part 1.
,----[ Quote ]
| While Linux is pretty snappy and can run quite easily on far lower
| specifications than other operating systems most distributions are configured
| less than optimally.
|
| This is because Linux distributions are configured to run on everything
| including the kitchen sink (don't laugh, it may happen one day. "Hey you, you
| didn't clean that dish properly. Do it again." Errm. back to reality) so it
| can install on all computers with no hassle. Much the same as proprietary
| systems are configured. However us Linux Borg have an advantage. We can do
| something about it and quite easily.

Hardware vendors like Intel will continue to fear and antagonise anything
that's not bloated.
