Firstly, you shall be doing your father a disservice if you
decieve him about the ease of a UNIX system; unless you have made
similar advancements in UNIX systems adminstration. (If you can
indeed do the latter, COMPAQ/DIGITAL is looking for you, and they
have a 7 figure salary in mind).
Secondly, the underpinning for what you are talking about is
far from trivial, and indeed, some of it may indeed be intractable to
the degree that it is impractical.
I am not saying this is not a laudable goal. I am merely
trying to institute a reality check. A more concrete proposal would
be desirable.
