if it only were 10% as stable as it is innovative, rathen 
than "selling" new stuff as stable (ZFS first and foremost) and if it 
only weren't distributed in such a manner as to be still compatible 
with trilobites command line, and if it weren't sooooooooooo much 
messy as to make you wish to to use something else.
And if it finally integrated virtual consoles in ON... how can they 
distribute a Unix without virtual consoles??????????
