I used to do that when I was on dial-up. Large pages would take so |
| 10 |
long, I would click on the links then go take a shower while they |
| 11 |
loaded. Now that I have DSL, that is sort of funny. I thought I was |
| 12 |
the only one that did that. lol |

Way back when I worked on computers, we serviced Mac's, well Apple in |
| 15 |
General. I always liked Macs. They were easy to work on and just plain |
| 16 |
worked back then. I'm not sure where Linux was at that time. This |
| 17 |
would be about 1990 or so. I'm a old fart sometimes. o_O |

If you think 8Gbs is cool, try 16Gbs. It takes it a while to even fill |
| 20 |
up with cache. I tried putting portage's work directory on tmpfs, it |
| 21 |
wasn't any faster. I could have spent that on a really large drive |
| 22 |
instead. |
