I am very happy to see that this idea is in the minds of people. I know that when the founders of computing began to develop the first computers they were not thinking "let's make a buck" I think its safe to assume that they had a much more social concept in mind. It is unfortunate that ideas like these are not standard practice. I may be to big of a dreamer, but computing and development for the sake of mankind is a wonderfull concept and practice. I only wish more people agread.
This could in fact be a new begining for our wonderous OS Linux. And be it Reiser or SGI...jfs is going to provide one of the last things that separated linux from the other unix's. Fairwell ext2.. you served us well.
We cant forget the most importantly that Linux is just a kernel that the GNU and other programs can run on. _Beastie_ whithout a body.. its just a head
Many senior citizens (esp. in the US) are on very tight budgets, this is do to many reasons.. and i wont rant on that one. So why would you want turn your grandpa/grandma onto an OS that will inherently cost them more and more for new features?? Linux is coming of age my friends, and there really is no remarkable reason people can't use it as a home OS.
