Do you remember the days when bootup was so slow that you would sit there for 3-5 minutes watching the ram count up? The old family computer (IBM XT) had 640 KB of ram. It would pretty much count up the RAM by powers of two on startup. I watched that start-up so many times during my childhood it later on became a distinct advantage in math class to have the powers of two memorized up that high :) As educational as that was, I do very much enjoy not having to wait quite so long :) Especially since my computer has 8 GB of RAM now. ~m -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
