Anyone know anything about coreos?
Lookie lookie, they have "ebuilds"? python-oem-2.7.6-r1.ebuild [1] It clams to be 100% open source. It runs on "bare metal", linux systems, clusters and clouds. It claims to have a much small footprint ~114 MB and boots very very fast via pxi(boot). Very interesting.... It does look commercial too?: https://coreos.com/ I guess my take is that eventually, linux will be very small, embedded and a cluster/cloud environment is where most systems will plug in, kinda like most modern cell phones. Hopefully, there'll be a systemd centric version so that enables individuals and small companies can remain "in the game". Surely there will be a openrc version(s) that survives, adapts and remains relevant. To me, it appears that some forward looking folks have forked (stolen the best parts?) gentoo, made some fundamental (long overdue changes) and are all about creating a source_to_cluster platform. (hmmmm, vaguely sounds familiar...scratching head). It is a natural evilution for linux to take; or are we going to embrace some much needed change (new ideas) into gentoo?
