Of course not, but it is probably the most limited in this respect than
any other OS GNOME is deployed on.  Are you perhaps aware of a

I covered this issue in the rest of the post.  Linux's ext2 filesystem
can indeed support 4 billion inodes, but as I said, it would take at
least a 4 terabyte disk to hold them all.  I then went on to show what
would be possible on a more typical 9GB disk.  If you want to fight
about that, then we'll talk.
