"My way is better than your way".... attitudes... have already spawned off
at least 3 similar operating systems, BSDI, 386BSD, and NETBSD.
"I'll take the best parts of your OS and put them in mine". "And I'll
take the best parts of yours and put them in mine". Gee wouldn't it be
great if they all came out identical?
Seriously, it sure makes it doubly difficult for us (Joe End-User) to keep
current with the latest and the greatest. Now we must deal with
multiple resources. I'll probably end up taking the best features of all OS's
and make my own OS. I'll call it VGER, from Star Trek the Motion Picture.
(VGER was a satellite that gleened all knowledge from the universe).
I really wish there was some way you guys could work together somehow
agreeably.. {sigh}. Read it 3 things you never want to see being made:
laws, sausage, and 386 operating systems.

(Currently running unofficial max-patchkit 386BSD with BDE's kernel speedups.
Which version tomorow? I seriously don't know).
