Good thing there's illumos then, because it's backwards compatible.
Backwards-compatibility or bust!

We've said it before & we'll say it again.
When new stations are built, or Beeching lines reopened, people flock to use them!
Dartmoor Line
Northumberland Line
Borders Railway
Elizabeth Line
And now, these new stations in Birmingham.
Let's build more!

Next Wednesday April 8th is the last topic in the How Resilient is Cambridge? series.
This time the focus is on Community, looking to see how we can come together to address the challenges caused by the climate crisis. (And other challenges, of course…)

CDE on Tribblix, OpenLook on Tribblix or Linux, but both OpenLook versions are a bit unstable so I'm slowly cleaning the source code here, just started looking at porting xview.

Funding for road maintenance is welcome, but the govt is also planning to spend billions on new & bigger roads.
With the energy & climate crises, it should focus on improving public transport / active travel to give people better alternatives to driving.

If we're talking just monolithic kernels, then:
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, AIX, Solaris/Illumos, OpenVMS, HP-UX, System V, VxWorks, could all replace the Linux kernel. Or use a hybrid kernel like WindowsNT or XNU.
