Linus Torvalds on the other hand did indeed say ”Anybody who needs more than 64Mb/task - tough cookies” on the original Linux announcement email chain.

- taf2 8y agolike garrosh says, "times change" source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxY89F5oU-I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxY89F5oU-I For both Linus and Bill - anything they said you have to remember the context. 640K was - "YUUGE" (always say it right) For Linus releasing linux at the time a 64Mb task was "YUUGE" (again just make sure you always say it right)
- vernie 8y agoGarrosh is referring to time travel.
- unmole 8y agoWell Linus also said his kernel won't be big and professional like GNU's.
- mcguire 8y agoWhich it isn't. :-)
- simias 8y agoThis is not really the same thing though, that's not saying "64MB per task should be enough for anybody", actually it's arguably the opposite. In his original announcement he clearly introduces his project has a somewhat limited OS.
- adrianmonk 8y agoThe way I'd read that, "tough cookies" doesn't mean it isn't a valid need. It just means it isn't supported.
