Related packages can be called "linux-api-headers", "linux-docs". Perhaps we may provide alternative kernels? With names like these, we may get a brand new project named "Arch Operating System", providing Linux, BSD, Hurd or even more as kernels, and users are free to choose any one. Well, this is really interesting. It'd be the first OS to provide multiple kernels! > Best, > Bernardo -- Carl Lei (XeCycle) Department of Physics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University OpenPGP public key: 7795E591 Fingerprint: 1FB6 7F1F D45D F681 C845 27F7 8D71 8EC4 7795 E591 Facebook: Carl Lei Twitter: XeCycle Blog: http://xecycle.blogspot.com Thu, 26 May 2011 12:19:59 +0800
