We're rapidly approaching the time when upgrading an older box
with a 32meg (default) / partition will involve repartitioning,
since 32megs won't hold it all. To have to do that for
functionality is one thing, to have to do it for icons on "The
Power to Serve" OS seems an oxymoron.
I just hope someone drops a tag before the system goes totally
GUI. :)
