    I've done. Hundreds of times. And I'm still feared with the
number of options... Well, I must say that my procps comes from a
Debian 1.3.1, and since then obviously it has gone better.

    IMHO, is amazingly bloated. Currently, new versions of procps are
cleaner, faster, etc... but much of the bloat remains. The cause is
not procps, nor Albert, but the compatibility with all flavors of ps
out there: BSD, SysV, etc...

    Yes, is a question of habits (bad ones, I suppose). I have been
using Linux since 1994 or so, and I've always used BSD flavor of ps.

    You are definitely true ;))))
