32MB!  Luxury!  Why when I were a lad you could get a very decent Linux
install in 8MB of JFFS2.  kernel, Busybox, PHP, all mod cons.

Despite having reservations about the Bubble-era track record of some of
the Big Ideas that were printed when Wired had that lovely paper, and
the fact the project ended up with Redhat only after trying to get in
bed with Demonic Forces that were the first choice, the debloat
discipline is sure to pay off for Fedora whatever happens with this OLPC
project.
