RE: Using standardized SI prefixes
Dear Friends and colleagues,
I am a newbie on this list and Linux but an oldie when it comes to IT
industry.
Can i highlight that the main attraction of ubuntu amongst all other Linux
derivates is its accessibility to end users. For this feature to continue to
flourish it is best if everything from the bottom up is standardise towards
the final goal of presenting it to the ordinary end user.
In today's world unfortunately presentation does matter a great deal more
than its worth, but that is the reality.
Kind Regards
Farjad

debian-installer does so (unless you are creating LVM Logical Volumes, in
which case the units that you specify volume sizes in are base-2, but the
units that volume sizes are displayed in remain baase-10)... :)
