I must make a point that I did not mean to say "GNU Utilities" - rather both XFree86 and Xorg depend on sh, which is the true point of discussion here. Please note: a) The usage of "2 major X servers" - I never denied the existance of others, but meerly stated the most common ones b) From xorg7: head -n1 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc head -n1 /usr/bin/startx there's loads more - I can go on if you like > > Can you please point me to some article/mailing list thread where a > > non-Linux OS is "trying to get rid of that crap as soon as possible". > > Of course, logically, this would mean they have "that crap" to begin > > with. > Any BSD, and specially OpenBSD. That was not my request - again, can you please point me to some article/mailing list thread where a non-Linux OS is "trying to get rid of that crap as soon as possible"?

Thank you. From the original message which started this thread: >>> 3. With respect to that, isn't it a fair deal if someone wants to use rc, that he should install plan9port (instead of abandoned 9base)? <<< It appears garbeam's plan is to stop maintaining 9base. Which would make my earlier assertions actual fact. Please do not flame arbitrarily - "stop spreading FUD" - start providing proof if you don't wish to look like a fool. > wmi was shit; if you don't agree, go back to use it and don't waste > our time with this discussion. Hmm, it appears you feel much the same way about WMII. I suggest you take your own advice and return to wherever you came from. the "don't waste our time" section fits especially well here.
