Core is a toolbox, and the repo contains the tools.
With these you can build a system that contains ONLY what you need for your project, unlike other distros that start out with a bunch of stuff you don't need.

Hi gerald_clark,

Appreciate your message.

After reading all posts in this thread, I'm now having the confidence of using Core as web app, Apache, PostgreSQL (headless)server deployed within a LAN of up to 50 clients accessing simultaneously, as an alternative to CentOS. That's of course with the suggested significant amount of RAM.

Many thanks and cheers!

According to theory, swapping out from tmpfs should be significantly faster than any block device filesystem (and the speed of underlying filesystem is irrelevant wrt swap files).
