Hardly any software even supported it, but hey, those that did were 1337. Beagle Graphics and MousePaint. I still have them, and I still use them (with EMU][).
Don't think that Gentoo is the only answer... SourceMage is like Gentoo in the respect that your system is optimized for your arch. And compiling is just as easy with "cast -c" as "emerge".
It's not just you. I find this move wasteful. I can remember when a 'nix would run in under a meg of RAM, when a GUI would run on a CGA or a Hercules (yes, I think even X), and when hard drive sizes were still in the double-digit-megabyte range.
That said I would like to see an OS that is relatively POSIX-esque, with X, running on a low-end 486 with 8MB RAM, on a stock VGA.
You would never be able to run Linux on Game Boy. Game Boy Advance maybe, I don't know if its CPU has an MMU in it. Certainly, not even the Sega Genesis looks powerful enough for it. (32X? can someone tell me what CPU it uses? 68030 is minimum, without a separate MMU.)
I have yet to see *any* full *x more recent than a V7 clone running on an 8086, let alone on that crippled POS called PCjr (I say this as a former PCjr owner - my PCjr went teh kaput on me).
I hate to sound like I'm trolling, because I'm really not trying to. My own observation is that Gentoo is more about zealotry than anything else. I have seen other distros with the same idea of building everything from source, and they aren't riddled with zealots. I'm a Red Hat user who has bits and pieces of SourceMage on my system. I hang out on #sourcemage on irc.freenode.net. Those people are certainly not zealots for their distro, they just like working with the code, building things from source, and knowing where their code comes from.
SCOrdure has no reason to be asking you for $699 to continue to use Linux, or $199, or $32 for that matter until they show tangible and irrefutible proof that their "IP" (feh, ptui!) was used in Linux.
I thought the only good Windows management interface was a Linux CD.;)
Seriously, we know that Windows (NT-class) is at fault. I think Windows 98 is passable, and Linux (modded Red Hat 8 distribution that I use) is quite good, but I really do not like XP... I think corporations should switch to a platform that just isn't as full of holes. As for the users...well...NT-class Windows was never meant for the home user.
A friend of mine in my chatroom said his mother didn't believe him when he had an e-mail saying he sent someone a copy of SoBig.F.
I explained how e-mails could be spoofed, and also mentioned how the FreeDOS list got flooded with SoBig viruses. (I also said that I have gotten spams claiming to come from my own e-mail address!)
The e-mail addies I use most are 3 webmail addresses. One of them gets spammed the hell out of...that's the one you see.
Then again all my MP3 and OGG files (mostly OGG, I hate MP3) are Japanese songs (Sailor Moon) and are impossible to find legally...the CDs I have are pirated from Taiwan (Son May) because that's all that one can find around here.
IE is the buggy browser, not Moz. If something works in IE and not in Moz that's because people are writing faulty code.
My web designer uses IE exclusively. Well, one of my pages that he laid out for me broke in Moz Firebird, because the column widths were even so slightly different... There's standards, folks, use them! I would have preferred to use <NOBR myself.
File sharing in itself is not illegal, what is illegal is sharing files you don't have the right (COPYRIGHT) to share. If I wanted to send someone a copy of my one-disk FreeDOS distribution over DCC, that's 100% legal, although that is P2P file sharing.

This whole situation is bullshit, Nobody on earth is going to confuse Apple Computer Inc. with Apple Corps Ltd. So the trademark point should be moot.

Mainline is Debian, SuSE, Head Rat or Mandrake.

That has nothing to do with Linux...that's GNOME. Sure it comes with most Linux distros, but it's not part of Linux proper.

Kind of hard if every AV program has a different subject line, and then, every different language... :\

Obvious viruses and messages with obviously faked senders should be rejected outright by the SMTP server or by a passthrough further upstream.
