Dan Cross scripsit:
But nostalgia aside, something I find interesting (and
frankly a bit
distressing) is what seems to me to simply be an acceptance that it's all
going to end with Linux. That is to say, no one ever seems to talk about
what will come *after* Linux. Will Linus's kernel truly be the last kernel
anyone works on seriously? Somehow I very much doubt that. And yet, you
don't see a lot of talk about evolutionary paths beyond Linux; it's a sort
of tunnel vision.
This is like asking when there will be a new scientific discovery in some
field. There will be a new kernel when someone decides, as Linus did, to
write a new kernel. If it catches on, it may supplement or replace Linux.

Sir, I quite agree with you, but what are we two against so many?
