turb0chrg, I tried to get memory stats via GNU time, but it doesn't work well. I could have done this another way obviously, but didn't. warpengi, you're right. Thanks for the clarifications :-) -c »

Hey bugmenot, That's true, but it's rather hard to test, especially when connection speeds come into it and finding packages the same size. I think it's safe to say that you'll be downloading less by using the deltas than you would on Debian. For these tests, all packages were pre-downloaded so bypass the network download issue.

Hi, Yes I should have mentioned that, thanks. Something like this: "By moving any patent issues into the public spotlight however, those in the free software world can help break down the cloud of fear, uncertainty and doubt that Microsoft is spreading. In the end TomTom caved into the pressure and settled out of court, so the future problem will be: Are companies willing to fight back and make details of the patent claims public?" Cheers, Chris »
