I'm not a developer nor and advanced user. My idea comes from reading
things like this:

http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/rants/bsd4linux/bsd4linux3.php
(from the post BSD vs Linux at
http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/rants/bsd4linux/bsd4linux1.php )

So, basically, it's not "my" idea. And certainly isn't something you
can follow literally. But maybe it could inspire us.

Cheers!!
