Re:Gaming OS? A potential is already here... (Score 1)

As for source, they've opened up Tracker and Deskbar.

Windows booting methods - Linux I've never seen make a big deal out of it, which is necessary to get your average windows user to notice it.

The thing about boot up times is 1) Amiga is dead, face it, get over it. 2) You're talking about modifing linux so its faster. Be is like that right out of the box, God only knows how fast it'd be if it was tweaked so only the components needed for gaming were brought up.

With the kernel, again you're talking modifications. [An aside on kernel and source stuff... most people don't care if its open source or not, if they can tweak the kernel or not! They just want something that when you turn it on it comes up and works every time. They don't care about source in the same way. They just want something that works and works fast].

POSIX-wise, I'm just saying that it'd be easier to port stuff that's already been done on a Un*xy system, as opposed porting from say Unix to Windows, which has very little in common.
