Seriously,
Hasn't the coolness of Linux worn off? If you want true excitement with
how cool an OS is and the fun of pioneering again, how about cloning
Plan 9?
Written by some of the same people who invented Unix, but taking the ideas
even further yet, Plan 9 outdoes Unix in flexibility and elegance.
Read about the OS, here:
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/vol2.html
I program in Unix myself (system), but it needs an update. We need a
new Linus to start writing a Plan 9 kernel. GNU's Hurd doesn't go as far,
as a cloned Plan 9 would. Does anyone else want a 21st century OS?
