Ok, I see that we have to do a bit of clarification about the goals of the project, as they were on my mind. I don't want to create a new OS. I simply want to use at the best of my possibilities the (already great) capability of a GNU/Linux system in particular the capabilities about network, remote execution, and so on. And I would like to create a distribution that makes it easy to do this. When I wrote about using material and devices on all machines of a network I was referring to a GNU/Linux network. The examples about a PlayStation were *provocatory* but perhaps misleading. Were they? The type of tools I was planning to use (well, a minimum) are shown in the web site at http://massix.sourceforge.net/goals.html especially under section "Technical info". I think that the first step could be: - create a bare LFS system which boots, mounts a NFS partition for most of the basic commands and for /home. - create a set of scripts that automate what we have done to achieve this. Afterwards, we can look at some enhancement, such as to choose the commands that we want to have in the local hard disk and those that could be placed in a remote partition. When we have a system that has the features described for massix (install once, use everywhere, see personal settings, ...) even for basic tools (such as those in LFS) we can go on with X Window.
