This article is a inspired by some of the ideas which seem be constantly floating around my mind whenever I think about or read about operating systems. Surely, every time-served OS-geek carries a mental list of this sort around with them? This is a summary of all of the features which I would like to see in my dream FOSS based Operating System.

Your comment is out of place, Gentoo is no different from any other Linux distribution or even very far off of one of the BSDs.

Besides, if anything, portage is the opposite of what the article says Mike wants. Mike wants an apt-get or a pkg_add, not an emerge.

To me it sounds more like GoboLinux or perhaps even more the dead LinuxSTEP (especially file system layout and appfolders).
