Is Linux bloated? Hardly
,----[ Quote ]
| As the recognized "embedded Linux guy" by
| many of my peers, my e-mail Inbox was
| flooded with references to and comments
| about Linus Torvald's recent statement
| concerning the "bloated-ness" of Linux. In
| his opinion, as recorded in an interview at
| LinuxCon 2009, the Linux kernel has become
| "huge and scary." I will agree that Linux
| is a large body of work, but I think
| Torvald's use of the term "bloated" is both
| unfair and completely inaccurate.
