Negroponte says Linux too 'Fat'

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the not-looking-hard-enough dept.

Cadef writes "According to a story on CNet News.com, Nicholas Negroponte says that Linux has gotten too fat, and will have to be slimmed down before it will be practical for the $100 laptop project. From the article: 'Suddenly it's like a very fat person [who] uses most of the energy to move the fat. And Linux is no exception. Linux has gotten fat, too.'"

    links tries to be all fancy, trying to render fancy layouts as a graphical browser would. It then falls on its ass because, well, you CAN'T DO THAT PROPERLY WITH ASCII ART.

    lynx accepts the limitations of text, and works within its means.

    I must have really hit a nerve with you eh? All I'm seeing now is insults, you must have all ran out of good responses. Pretty much what I expected.

    Have a nice day!
