Anyone know anything about coreos? |

It clams to be 100% open source. It runs on "bare metal", linux systems, |
| 9 |
clusters and clouds. It claims to have a much small footprint ~114 MB and |
| 10 |
boots very very fast via pxi(boot). |

Very interesting.... |

It does look commercial too?: |

I guess my take is that eventually, linux will be very small, embedded |
| 19 |
and a cluster/cloud environment is where most systems will plug in, |
| 20 |
kinda like most modern cell phones. Hopefully, there'll be a systemd centric |
| 21 |
version so that enables individuals and small companies can remain "in the |
| 22 |
game". |

Surely there will be a openrc version(s) that survives, adapts and remains |
| 25 |
relevant. |

To me, it appears that some forward looking folks have forked (stolen the |
| 28 |
best parts?) gentoo, made some fundamental (long overdue changes) and are |
| 29 |
all about creating a source_to_cluster platform. (hmmmm, vaguely sounds |
| 30 |
familiar...scratching head). It is a natural evilution for linux to take; or |
| 31 |
are we going to embrace some much needed change (new ideas) into gentoo? |
