    @netomx I still remember when you forced me to manually install centos on my debian test machine 4-5 months ago and now you are all peace and love with debian :-)

    And give suggestion on how to run it in 32M! You're a man now!

    Thats only file system optimazation though. You can also optimize the CPU with

    It just involved removing some of the locales and a few parts of the docs (the same copyright message repeated 100 times!) etc. I'll write something in more detailed later, but rather than running the scripts blindly, you guys should be looking at what each command does anyway... That way you can combine all of the guides online.
