This is because you don't know what's out there. Damn Small Linux runs in 16MB of RAM and provides a GUI by default: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ tomsrtbt runs in less, but provides no GUI and very little documentation: http://www.toms.net/rb/ http://www.toms.net/rb/ http://www.linuxtoday.com/news/1998122400805PR http://www.linuxtoday.com/news/1998122400805PR My point is that not everything needs to be small. We have freedom of choice here, not one-size-fits-all, and we can create specialized distros for specialized tasks.
