I would probably not even bother with the old requirements except as perhaps a place to get ideas that you feel might be useful. Concentrate on what is feasible and useful to you, then present it. I'm sure folks will have something to say... :) As far as languages go, I personally would prefer C or C++ for speed and portability, but that's just me. I also don't like to depend on many outside libraries or packages. Again, that's just my take on it, though. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
