Why the fuck is building a ``configure'' and ``make'' so complex, /prog/?

I asked Cudder about it and she said it'd be OK for me to post the essence of the Anonux plan now.

Basically, it's not going to be just another Linux or {insert distro name here}. We have the anoncoreutils right now (development is a bit slow at the moment, but we hope more anons will contribute), and once they're mostly done we'll move onto what GNU calls the binutils (assembler, linker, etc.), resulting in a Anon/GNU/Linux OS. Then, a C compiler, followed by a C library. Once we reach this point and finish off replacing GNU programs with anonymous', we'll have an Anon/Linux system, as opposed to the GNU/Linux around right now.

The final stage of the plan would be the longest and most difficult, a POSIX-compliant replacement kernel. If/when that is complete, Anon/Linux will become Anonux.

This is going to be long-term. Very long-term. We have no set dates at the moment but we plan on finishing anoncoreutils by the end of '08.

More details May 5th.
