The whole idea of an "operating system" seems to have morphed into the
notion of a user interface.
To my way of thinking,t he various flavors of Linux are really a user
interface build on a single operating system.
Has anybody else noticed that the meaning of "portable code" seems to have
morphed into "can be built on two or three different flavours of Linux"?
One thing you can depend upon in this field is the inconstancy of
definitions.
Agreed.
