 yeah.. in anything but chronological terms, linux is quite backwards.

 sure. I'm quite confident that many PDP11's have or had disks big enough 
to hold a linux kernel. I'm sure that one could even fit a fully bootable 
and runnable 6th edition filesystem _inside_ most modern linux kernels 
and not have many people even notice!! I'm sure that this PDP11 has 
enough memory for the linux kernel to, for example, run printk and tell 
you that it's out of memory.
