And Debian source main distribution doesn't fit on a single CD. Eh! That's
mean more than 650 MB of compressed source ready for Linux and all DFSG
compliant ! The new 2.0 Official CD will be distributed as a 4-5 CD sets
[source and multi-arch binaries included].

Well, for well compared NT kernel with Linux, you need to add to the Linux
Kernel: X (for the graphic kernel), Mesa (for OpenGL), svgalib (for
DirectDraw), Mozilla (for IE), FileManager (for Explorer aka IE),
Enlightment (for Themes aka IE), GNOME/KDE>K/Qt (for all the new
HTML controls, RTF controls, OLE...), etc. For those who says that IE
is not part of the kernel, I ask you then why upgrading IE need so much
change in kernel32.dll, user32.dll, etc... MS said the truth when talking
about IE as a part of the OS. And it will soon be the samething for
MS Office ;) NT needs all this in kernel because elsewhere Billy will
need Merced III for running it correctly.
[Sorry for the none purpose mail... Bad night having to install NT after
a screen-saver crash). ]
