For me, it's not memory use, but the shifting of power from a distrubution model to single applications. I find that makes software less "free". In a distro, applications have to get along with each other, agree on a common set of libraries, file system layout, etc. I think this is a Good Thing. Every app carrying its own little distro is like neoliberal hell. No wonder it uses up more resources ;-D > Maybe I'm weird. I seem to be even weirder :) Cheers -- t
