+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!!
