Services like TCP/IP are daemons, they use Kb, it can be used as a very basic simple web server with only a shell to configure everything.
I am talking about on 32bit hardware, install a new release of any open source operating system, try using the latest release of a GUI web brwser Firefox or Chromium and see how well it runs, compared to even a dual core with 8GB 64bit OS.
I really don't care about RHEL. Unless companies want to buy their services to be allowed access to the software it, everyone should forget about Red Hat. It's done, it's gone. And there will never be a free version of Red Hat, so look at other long term alternatives.
