[ILUG] new major problem with linux: too many apps...

And, lo, upon Wed, 20 Dec 2000, kevin lyda did proclaim:

> this isn't a fud article, but it is one that makes your head spin a bit.

yeah but the guy seems to be a bit of a dozy git. Don't want a web
server? Then don't install it! I've grown accustomed to the amount of apps
supplied with my dists and I wouldn't like to see them reduced so that to
get a complete installation I'd have to get several boxes worth of stuff
of spend half the week on freshmeat (assuming I can get through).

Oh, and the point of not being able to eject a Mac CD by hitting the eject
button? Some stuff on it may be in use. A slightly less technical
CowOrker(he's learning though) started on that point yesterday... I was
going through an installation with him - upgrade problems - and he said:
"So, the Mac won't let you open the CD drive when there's a CD in there
unless you take it off the desktop first? That's a bit... oh, quite clever
actually"
