“What hasnâ€™t VMS done already, anyway?”

I feel a Skynet joke coming on…

What Lazarus said – I meant to say “never been done before in open source”.

What hasn’t VMS done already, anyway?

I am quite sure that Justin was refering to the fact that no free/open source system has done that before, and certainly not at the kernel level.

With respect to:

DragonFly is oriented towards creating a single system image over multiple
networked computers on the Internet, which has never been done before.

I think you are incorrect. I believe that VMS has been doing this for about 30 years.
