The only thing impossible is skiing through a revolving door.

The question is how long will this take.  Linux was not written over night. 
It took time to develop, test, debug, and release.

If every sysop using it kicked in 10 grand we probably wouldnt have enough to
buy the source code.  If it got leaked out by mistake, that would be another
story.  :}

If it was to happen, I would think OS/2000 would be a kool name.  :}

While its being developed, maybe a 68040 version could be done as well as
Pentium versions.
