Ubuntu 8.04 will be as small as 81MB on disk, and just 30MB when compressed for download.

I agree, supporting old stuff is a financial disaster.

It took me a second to realize that your comment about "I agree, support old stuff is a financial disaster" was agreeing with @Tim_G statement because your link text says Ubuntu 8.04 but links to an article about Ubuntu 18.04.

That's odd.

Your Link is "Ubuntu 8.04 will be as small as 81MB on disk, and just 30MB when compressed for download." it should say "Ubuntu 18.04 will be as small as 81MB on disk, and just 30MB when compressed for download."

@penguinwrangler No surprise. City of Dallas is very corrupt. Has been a joke and run by jokers for quite a while.

Complexity due to the size of the systems? City of Dallas is NOT an enterprise environment. Not SMB, but c'mon. It's just a city system, if there is complexity, it's from incompetence.
