The project has just started and the goals are defined. I have setup the GitHub project, successfully compiled and installed the kernel, and posted to Hacker News.

Do you have ideas or suggestions for this fine Linux fork?

Do many tools fail if you boot with a kernel that doesn't have "linux" in its name?

Yes: first the changes, then the publishing

So you've done nothing and decided to post on HN anyway?

Interesting project, I wish you luck. We do need forks of Linux, because the one-size-fits-all codebase model is starting to show its limits. But most people are stuck with mainline, because there are so many security patches to keep up with.

Is this a play on not-linux?

If you can do something to implement anything from ReactOS, so that a user can natively execute Windows/DOS software alongside *nix, it would be something of value.
