PG Mari (who plays Reica Selen) posed a question in DEBATE of MZDM -- what if we can compare notes and see what common ground we do have.  I posted this:

So let me pose a question to those Linux/Unix geeks out there (I've been geeking out as of lately).

Alot of times, even at bootup, you use alot of utilty programs.  The util-linux programs (like cp, rm, ls, etc).  A good lot of them over 20k, and using more of them at once chews up a good chunk of cache as each is loaded one at a time -- or even worse, on a laptop, the disk gets spinned up for each one that isn't already in cache.

What if I "short circut" that and used smaller replacments which point to BusyBox instead?  The reason being, of course, is to use a unified binary (which probably is going to be no more than a meg large), and more than likely allow the HD to stay spinned down and save power (because it's more likely to stay in cache).

Now, the only other thing I would want to check is replacing swap with a flash card.  I'll still need HD swap, though -- I have software suspend here.

Software suspend v2.0 works great with the updated test patches.  Now to config.
