There is a mis-understanding that has been rampert in this forum for YEARS!
It is the concept of ISO size having something to do with distro operations and performance.
People who keep pushing this concept are WAY off base! I saw this very good post, today, and wanted to bring this to the light it deserves:
I am NOT advocating that members/development change what they do. RATHER, I am hoping that the community rallies around a clearer understanding that an ISO/IMG is a 'DELIVERABLE" ... not a positive/negative operational because of its large/small size.
Every-time I see member mis-understandings of RAM, I cringe! Hope this post is beneficial. It serves to bring awareness of both deliverables and app/package size in relation to operational RAM use.
