OSNews, Generic OSes Yeah, I might be just re-inventing the wheel here, who knows? But I had this (original? I doubt it) idea a few months ago and I was meant to write about it for some time now. So, my idea is about creating a new operating system that is like none of the current ones. It would be so different, that porting applications from other "traditional" systems wouldn't be possible. But the gains would be much more important of what we would lose by implementing a brand new new system.

without really having all the knowledge to talk too deep into this yet I would say that the "kernel" (a big no of modules ;) need to be able to read from hundreds of modules at the same time (in a practical sence), without loosing too much speed on switching and linking btw the modules.. I guess this means that the FS will need to be very efficient in handling module data from parts all over the HD, this might be really tough to design
