:-/ I was once very disatisfied with an earlier job I had because the
boss kept trying to make me use a "rabbitcore" which had only 1MB for
everything, and there was no way I'd be able to fit Linux into that.
Rabbitcore ran some tiny thing called rabbitOS, but the tools were all on
windows. :( This was only in 2003, and I still see adds for the rabbit
in magazines.
