If I knew the kernel well enough, I'd surely be able to balance it out whether it was a case of reverse engineering or innovation. Around the Linus came up with the Kernel, which is IMO a reverse engineering case as there are no differences between the BSD and Linux Kernel, supposedly PC BSD was already working on completion of an open Unix Kernel. Though the name Unix could not be used. However, it would be quite inspirational if Linus did something different or unique given his genius mind. And given that a lot of Kenyan Developers build systems on Linux, surely they would be able to seperate suspicion from fact, get us involved in the Kernel discussion and I think a lot of progarmmers would appreciate the depth and inspiration that drove early programmers to the limits of development.
This thread is programmer to progarmmer so what do programmers use as inspirational material?
Rgds. :-)
If you took the time to do a bit of research on your own, you wouldn't be asking some of these ignorant questions. But of course, you are "not interested in googling for results, want to read first hand from Kenyans what they know about the 2 kernels". It's really hard to understand what you're trying to achieve by some of your posts. Joseph.
