[snip] Now, if you think multi-user OSes are not that good, I think there is an OS with a different kernel somewhere (not Linux, not *BSD, not Hurd, not Windows, not ReactOS...) which wants to build a single user system. Can't remember the name, I only remember that when someone on linuxfr described it, I was really sceptical, because there will obviously be tons of security issues with such a system.
There is a market (how large???) for a single user single task computer and OS. That is how I operate ~100% of the time. Security is a non-issue, I have the only key to my house. It needs only one password to cove case of physical malicious access. There would be advantages to a maintenance password to guard me from making careless/dumb errors on *MY OWN* machine. It would be extremely useful if its kernel supported running unmodified Debian packages.
