Re-Unix

[crazygray1]

Since there is no real "Unix" anymore, I just thought it might be nice if someone took v7 and put more modern things in it (not bloating it though). That just might be the perfect system.

that would indeed be nice. I'm sick of the 13052837582 different "*nix" distrobutions out there, even the BSD's have gotten off-track from the UNIX goal.
Or someone should re-do the NexTStep mach kernel so that it doesnt suck so bad. =)
sorry mac-heads.

That's what kind of blew my search for a modern day Unix.

Surely one of these is unix enough for you

Would result in JAUF. (Just another Unix flavour.)

Unix can't be "the perfect system", ever. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Linux user myself (because Windows is yet worse). But I wouldn't even know where to start to point out all those places where Unix is literally FUBAR.

Again, this is by no means meant as system bashing / flamebait. But I think that even the existence of something like autoconf (do you like your threads vanilla or strawberry flavoured, and does this executable reside in /bin, /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, /opt/bin, or somewhere completely different) points out that this system is best left alone, and your OS be started from scratch / clean slate.

I'm not doing this myself, I just thought it would be nice.
