Interesting, and kind of fun to look at.
The only downside is that functional does not equal practical.  You can have an OS that boots up and sits there as stable as the Rock of Gibralter, but if it has little or no software available, it isn't much good.
If Richard Stallman ever stops being so damned anal, I think that GNU Hurd will be the best of the bunch.

does anyone know how to make a symbolic link?
for some reason, they don't put that kind of stuff in manuals.

Ice-9:
http://www.mcsr.olemiss.edu/unixhelp/tasks/links2.2.html
it's explained there, plus examples.

Found that by typing the question in Google.
Google is a newbie's best friend at times  ;)

i did that and i didn't get a page witht the ln command. But i did get this page http://www.mcsr.olemiss.edu/unixhelp/tasks/links2.2.2.html which is linked from the page you gave me and a page on perl.com that mentioned a symlink command that didn't work.

Anyway, i did this --> #ln -s java /usr/bin/java

and it made the link, but when i type $java -version outside /usr/java/jdk/bin it says command not found.

how do i get java, javac and jar to work from any location without typing out the entire path?
