I wish I could take credit for it; it is a very, very popular concept, |
| 17 |
characterize our newest noob, as you like.... |

Lots of folks have lots of reasons to reduce the space/ram/cup resource |
| 20 |
consumption, particularly for things they do not want and quite often |
| 21 |
due to constraints on resources....(ymmv). |

Full Definition of BLOATED |

now now boys, try not be so full of angst with your choices. Gentoo |
| 43 |
is about choices; and bloat by it's very nature, is in the eyes of the |
| 44 |
beholder..... Some guys like a 'big boodie, some guys like it skinny! |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
From a technical perspective, just look at the amazing world of embedded |
| 47 |
systems...... bloat will get you fired cause your embedded system |
| 48 |
will run slower than your competitors on similar hardware. |
