Tony,

Surely you wouldn't concede that Linux is a functional operating system as opposed to a patchwork quilt or a kernel lacking most functionality that any SI user would routinely use.

And if it ever becomes a full function OS, I suspect that its memory requirements will grow substantially.

It's sort of like a car. If you don't want to go anywhere, you don't need much gas.
