What's new in Linux 2.6.34(h-online.com) |
I am playing with it a little and I wonder if I could expect greater redundancy (like three or more copies scattered) and block deduplication (that would probably require using a hash function instead or in addition of crc32 for block integrity checks)
The yum plugin (unfortunately, I am a Debian guy) looks very sweet.
Most generic kernel package included in Ubuntu is around 121mb. But it includes a lot of modules - see:

Very few of these will actually be running on your system.
I work on embedded Linux and once build your own kernel with just the drivers you need, the image is tiny. I know the exact number of the top of my head but it was either a few mb or maybe even less than 1 mb. We had 256 mb of total system flash and we got our entire Linux distro on there easily.
