The Most Standard Operating System Ever:
- POSIX kernel/userland
- X/Open specced X11R5 windowing system
- X/Open specced Motif widget toolkit
- UDF Type 1 as the filesystem
- iBCS as the ABI
Everything a standard. (UDF is the only filesystem I know that is both standardized in itself and natively supports devices nodes and symlinks, required for POSIX)
All from scratch in ISO C. It will be completely standards compliant, an exemplar, and incompatible with everything.
