@Moses, am not a troll or spite Operating Systems or the rest. All I see clearly is what is not happening and have to type in as is. However we must take the fight to all technologists to see the clear picture as its been painted for a few years now. This thread started off with someone asking help on an Operating System which has no benefit to the economy in many ways. Consider this and if you understand where KE came from the last 20 years or so, the time is now and the future. The tech infrastructure is almost falling into place, but we are unable to occupy it because the current situation is that e.g Open Source has become like the "Off the Shelf" product and marketing is done accordingly, meaning quick fixes. Maybe I don't get it, but I don't see how we are going to do anything at all when most continents have produced their own versions of Open Source systems that suited their environments. Take Brazil as an example. This localisation has produced an active tech sector that many companies are involved in and are outsourcing skills learnt to other countries. And here we are, a major ICT country in our region and we are only capable of the usual petty self-inflicted consumerism stuff.
Absolutely true!You see,when you are not bashing this group or the other just for the sake of argument,I'm likely to agree with you! :) As you have clearly put " ...Lack of progress is mine and your enemy..." I'm out!
