What I am saying is that linux is based on a system that supported
primitive user I/O devices like a hard copy TTY and I question that
with the power of modern computers.A more modern model of user I/O is
needed. Don't say that X windows is a good model under linux because
it is bloated and you can't get a X-windows terminal as open source.

I call it a good file system with real pipes.

I want a OS based on a good text/GUI model that can pipe as well.
If I run a 80x24 text screen I want the same development and user
interface as 640x480 graphic screen. I want peripherals open source
hardware so I can talk to other machines or print or display with
out being outdated by every other upgrade. I want a small fast OS
that is upgradable with having to reboot or re-start that can be
managed by the user not sombody with 20 years of computer science.
