In the early 1980's, you folks in the labs trashed the VAX
kernel and replaced it with 4.1a (or c or something). You
poked around in the kernel, trowing away some stuff, adding
new stuff like streams and netb and stuff. On top you
ran very clean stuff. This was done because you saw
that for that hardware the BSD kernel was more useful.
Can we do that with Linux and the plan9 stuff? Can we
replace X windows altogether with a libdraw interface? Can the
binding that Linux currently does me bent into shape?
Can we have a Linux kernel base system that doesn't have
commands with so many options that each command has built
in man pages in the form of --help? Can we have a real
Unix system and not a GNU one?
Just a thought.
