[QUOTE: Robert Riebisch:
Newbies, please use your enthusiasm to write new apps! :-) :QUOTE] Well thats
a bit of a statement and makes a huge assumption on your part!
No offense intended, How does enthusiasm relate to lacking knowledge in a
given area. How can you even summise that there is even a relationship between
the two? One can be enthusastic and also be at the top of their field because
they are enthusiastic...!
It doesn't work with what has been tried? (i.e. expanding DOS using DOS code
like extenders?)
or it doesn't work but no previous testing as ever been tried either? I.e. no
one has actually tried to perform the idea of what i am suggesting, which is
nothing like creating a DOS extender, Sure their are similiarities but the core
idea is not the same.
and if the later is true, running a DOS-like system, if it provides the same
personality as DOS, offers compatibility and can run DOS programs just as well
as DOS + provide a bit more, Where is the issue?
[QUOTE:Rugxulo: Was Linux so wrong in copying *nix instead of reinventing
everything? "We don't need to reinvent UNIX, it already exists!" "Why are we
working on Linux when FreeBSD exists? It's the real deal!" "Why use Linux when
Windows already just works?" (See what I mean? You can argue anything if you're
lazy or just prefer something else, no offense intended.) :QUOTE]
None taken by me at least :), but on that same note i see alot of advantages
between seperate development of Linux and BSD. Linux aims for an entirely
different realm of users to BSD. It aims to be the alternative to Windows for
the most part.
BSD does not aim for to be an alternative to Windows. There are areas that
Linux and BSD overlap greatly and there are a few BSD distro's that do aim to
compete directly with Linux and Windows, PC-BSD being just one primary example.
You cannot say that BSD or Linux would be where they are today without the
interaction of coding between the two. Both have developed enourmously because
of each other... they are more intertwined than most people know.
