New Idea - New Challenge and Glory

(1/4) > >>

tclfan:
Now, when this fantastic project of creating and stabilizing TinyCoreLinux has been achieved, I would like to propose to developers and particularly to the TCL creator that a new project is started to parallel TCL:  Architecture and build a Tiny Core BSD in a similar modular architecture as TCL. The added value would be a new dimension of OS freedom to be made available for practical use and to build upon using similar software modules as TCE/TCZ and have a pristine system free from system rot.
Is this feasible?

Would you be more specific? It sounds very marketing. What would be the benefits of such project not available in the TC/MC ecosystem?

If you ask TCL creators to start it, you ask to reduce resources can be spent on TC! If you like TC, do not ask it! For me it sounds a very bad idea. BTW, what is TCE?

On the other hand, for sure you can develop anything you want freely :) It is the beauty of LINUX and being opensource.

tclfan:
Thank you for first response.  It could be a bad idea as you say. There is no doubt I like TCL a lot, particularly modularity and architecture. This was a fantastic idea and I think that at this point none other matches dexterity of concept and architecture. That is exactly why this idea should be extended to other systems and BSD is the first one that comes to my mind as the biggest impact after Linux.
The importance of this would be very significant IMHO. Let us consoder this: Linux is great as opensource, etc.  The problem that developed over time is that it is terribly fragmented, poluted with garbage and most Linux became horibly bloated. Even TCL, fantastic as it is, it is among hundreds of distributions and it is hard for many to recognize it's due value... BSD would open another dimension for this architecture.  Let us also consider the fact that TCL has matured at this point. New software will be ported, etc. and will be more and more usefull. TCL will continue to evolve but at this stage of maturity its evolution will be quantitative. Similar such earthshaking architectural chage could be brought to BSD and thanks to less fragmentation of the landscape and rock-solid kernel, security including, this might be of significant value for practical implementations.

For one thing,  adobe flash doesn't work on BSD.

Tclfan, maybe you should look at minix.
