Memo to Con Kolivas: why not roll your own?
,----[ Quote ]
| Kolivas, according to the interview, came up against three of the big guns in
| the kernel project - Torvalds, Andrew Morton and Ingo Molnar - when trying to
| lobby for his patches.
|
| With free and open source software, there is a way out, if Kolivas really
| wants to put his improvements out there and prove his point. Follow de
| Raadt's example and fork the project.

,----[ Quote ]

| we have it, why not take things to the next level? Let's make a desktop
| operating system which will be truly irresistible, then conquer the desktop
| and make computers really fun again.
