GNU/Linux.That's very vague, because it's so hard to gauge "What people expect", it varies based on the value of "people". (the longer you've used something, the more you come to expect precisely it, and nothing else, as I think we'veall seen in prior arguments about indiana).People would expect things like tab completion in the shell (and some shortcuts like Ctrl+R), top, ps aux, vim, tar zxvf to work, they don't care if they are GNU or not. I think that we should, at least, provide information to the user, when usual Linux commands are typed, on how to get the same information. For example, typing top, we could point them to the equivalent tool in OpenSolaris, kind of the Google's "Did you mean" or the new stuff in the ubuntu shell.
+1 I think that's a fabulous idea if it can be pulled off reasonably
The goal here should be making things better, NOT "the same as $FOO", forany value thereof.
