No way... :-( . At lilo itself you will get caltiger kernel to Free
browse facility only.
We will get Single tty and that also for automatic X, You can have
multiple Desktop but the Adv banner will be floating around the desktop,
that is possible ... For simplicity we can strict to KDE and QT only.
What you think..?
1. X might not be confgured, x server link might be non standard ... automatic x
is not doable.
2. You can't hack te kernel and keep it closed source without violating the GPL
3. Maybe some module could be kept closed source however I have doubts.
4. Is the linux market big enough for caltiger to go after it ?
5. Are linux hackers so simple that they won't be able to find ways around the
adbar ? I think they could and probably would...
These are my thoughts
Cheerio

May be .. but Whatever it is, authentication is in Server, but they are
surely doing some kind of encryption in client application level, and
then only sending the packet to server. The caltiger can keep their
encryption close source...
