Re: OS 4.0 Requirements

When i got my Openbsd 2.9 machine, i believe the bare minimum for OpenbSD with Xwindows was 16M... or , actualy i could have been 8 :)...

OpenBSD rox for memory :) and of course security. Its far better in both regards compared to linux.

I also sure its kernel is far lighter weight. I remember when i ran BSD with 64M of ram, at login i'd have 54M free... :) Custome kernels rock too :) im obssessed with customising kernels, i love it... nothing better to get the performance you need...

Which makes me wonder, i'd love to do something similar with AmigaOS if i'd ever get it or windows. But with both of those, you'r never going to get the source... do you think that maybe the kernels could support loadable modules and a configuration tool could be used to select the ones we want?

for example, if we know we're not going to be useing USB or some other devices that requires drivers untill we actualy get some hardware to use it with, we should be able to disable and no load it... is this possible currently? and if not, could loadable module support be included in execSG?

sorry for beign off topic :)
