i feel linux is always too big

i feel linux is always too big.

Today, I have statistc there are how many files in linux system and in windows:
linux:         135530 files   size: 2.3GB   (magic linux)  
windows:    13742 files   size: 1.4GB    (win 2K)

I wan't to know why there are so many files in linux system, nearly 10 times of windows, but its size not acheive 2 times of windows.
and there are not many tools in linux. Its strange.

i think there are two reasons:
1). in linux , there are many folders and sub-folders , and many of them only have several files or even one file. (why can't these file been put into one folder ?)

2). each program have many config files, the linux system also. so each file is very small, and i think these config files are too many and been put in too many different folders to be managed easyly,
for example, the config files related to net (hosts, hosts.allow, hosts.deny, hosts.conf, resolv.conf, net.conf, networks....) why can't be put into one file to configure the network ?

and i think that's one of the reason of why open a directory in graphic mode is much more slower than in windows.

my SCIM is broken, can't be changed into wubi, and other input mothed have been deleted by me.

So funny. Linux challenges your brain.

My scim is working well

How do you know there is little tools in Linux?

I think the word "Tools" in your brain means GUI Programs. Right?

Plese try: Install Win2000 and ML without any other software.

ML can write office documents, W2K cannot.

ML can play xvid codec movie, W2K cannot.

ML can chat with your QQ friends, W2K cannot.

ML can play Flash movie, W2K cannot.

ML can download BT file, W2K cannot.

ML can use ext2 ext3 xfs nfs ntfs fat fat32 .... over 100 file systems , W2K cannot.

...............

W2K can use virus programs and crash, ML cannot

How do you think Linux has less programs than Windows?

linux not big, linux just funny

VirusCamp

You can make linux as small as you like.

<1M with zhcon or cce ,with lynx or w3m ,and can link to internet

<100M with x ,openoffice ,firefox and other tools

VirusCamp

<1M with a web server,a ftp server , a telnet server

ML Linux is very good, not too big   and is stably, not need to use antivirus software  , and needn't  dare to affect virus, it is of a special importance to all of us. now i use ML with KDE and Gnome, I install Redoffice3.0,and Adobe reader, I can do all of my official work under ML.I can gain more funs from ML than that from Winxp. I Like ML.....

WIN要是装上VC.NET和MSDN帮助，占硬盘并不小。LINUX集开发工具、帮助和软件所占的硬盘要比WIN小的多。

KDE

magic 不仅是一个桌面应用环境，而且是完整的控制台环境，更是一个完整的开发环境，还拥有大量集成的易用软件，仅仅多媒体播放一条，就远胜过 windows，不信你从 bt 站点下载一段 DVD rip，在 win 下要么不能播放，要么有图像没声音，你要装一大堆解码器才能播放。当然 magic 和 win 兼容上还是有很多遗憾的地方。

APT 所有软件的 Debian （ubuntu）有多大？


PS：发现有 apt 真好啊，要什么简单的就能得到………
Windows 什么时候能这样呢？？？？

怎么不拿vista来比，vista光安装盘就有2.4 G
