int main ( void )                 GetOverIt

Idea's

• Parellelizing minimizes IO latency
• Make based system boot (instead of shell scripts)
  • Parellelizing ( make multiuser -j3
  • Good dependency system
  • Great logging (via the "tmp" files)
  • More caching (easier)
• Starting of more stuff on-demand instead of at boot time (apache only starts after first request to port 80 (NO, I'm not saying that apache should be in inetd)
• Starting of some daemons after a while (couple of minutes after boot) like cron..

Idealy it would be a file manager / database manager / desktop (or wm?) replacement..
All 'normall' stuff should be possible, drag and drop to copy, move or ln etc..
I'd like to see a crossover between 3DOSX and tdfsb, with a hint of.. yeah you get the point..
