X Windows Must Die!

When complsining about bloat in the kernel or whatever... keep in mind WE'RE NOT USING PDP-10's anymore. Jesus H. Christ! I don't know about you, but my "bloated" Linux 2.2.16 kernel running my my 486/66 with 36 meg of RAM is a nice webserver and screams for most basic server stuff even with 5 users on it. Yes, a microkernel would be nice but if you want HURD you know where to get it. Linux is monolithic in design by choice. When HURD is mature, I'll change over in a flash.
He goes on to complain about window managers being broken away from X. COME ON! Modularizing code into small components is only a good thing. God knows we don't want to end up with a windowing system that is basically unchanged (except for the applications and the window chrome) since 1984.
I don't agree with ALL the criticism, but X must DIE - soon. A new graphics architecture (with a legacy plugin for handling old school X apps) is needed.
The phrase "user testing" is unknown to Open Source coders, who will pick gee-whiz graphics over usability any day. Apple has spent millions over the years in focus groups, user meetings, and biometrics studies to figure out exactly how GUIs should look and behave. They don't always succeed (just look at the QuickTime Player 4 for a lousy interface), but in many ways the Mac is still the gold standard for GUIs.
Gee Wiz graphics after he mentions FVWM in the paragraph before???? I think Apple's focus groups must have included my grandmother, chimps and those people who operate their computer by blowing into a straw. YUK! Every "serious" computer user I know hates the MacOS. Granted: They don't attempt to appeal to serious users.
I do think he's right. Big Linux Vendors: create a project to make the next generation windowing system with all those nifty features. Don't forget to invite the BSD folks.
yea... and we'll use karma for how much people get to talk at board meetings...

Not being an expert on SCO UNIX, I ask: If portions of SCO were Open Sourced, would any of it be of any use to Linux? Are there any features that SCO has that Linux doesn't? #include "usual rant about how this would provide value to SCO/whoever owns SCO"
Maybe a more generic TLD for Free Software would be better to avoid the inevitable complaining from non-GNU folks. Then again maybe we need to rethink the "very few in number" TLD approach considering how-very-hard-it-is-to-get-a-dot-com-you-like.com.

When will the COM+, SOAP, OpenGL and ASP+ support enter beta!
Will perl 5 source be 100% ok with perl6 or will i have to rewrite code?
why does Apple's webserver give me "forbidden" errors on aobut half the urls on their site. /. in effect y0
Will the day come when Linux news is domainated by just a few companies like VAndover and that crappy internet.com place? Oh wait. It is.

Agreed. Wait and see.
try w3m (search on freshmeat). It's way better than lynx. It renders tables and frames.

Here is a good guide to "fair use" for the uninformed.

Does/Will TUX provide any sort of load balancing for a cluster of heterogenous TUX servers?
It works with Apache but is TUX generic enough to be interfaced with another server?
