I tend to agree ;) he is a talented repackager
So was Shakespear ...
linux had a potential to avoid Unix pitfalls and even improve, but so
far it has not been done - the emulator was buggy at first, it took a
lot of resources to make it useable, the next step would be to rewrite
code, actually create new clean base - that what's OpenBSD team trying
to do, and it takes a lot of resources. I just can not imagine what
would happen if Microsoft would donate those 7 bil they allegedly
spent on Offtopic2000 to the good hackers, a fraction would be more
than enough. Linux is yet another proof that even an emulator of a
properly structured OS is much more versatile than Mazdai :)
real Demiurgs create OSes without reference to the exisitng one.
ask Linus to do that... alone, please <G>
I guess, something is in the air, something new will come, when it's
time. And for now Linux serves my purposes rather well. As for
changing world as we know it by the means of wars, revolutions,
tum-tums, drugs, operational systems: I guess we saw that many times.
