“Every year the lkml sees a handful of April 1’st gags, and this
year was no exception. One of the more elaborate jokes was Dave
Jones’ announcement of a new Linux-like operating system for the
x86-64 architecture called ‘Davix.’ He begins his announcement, ‘do
you pine for the nice days of Linux-1.1, when men were men and
wrote their own device drivers? Are you without a nice project and
just dying to cut your teeth on a OS you can try to modify for your
needs? Are you finding it frustrating when everything works on
Linux? No more all-nighters to get a nifty program working? Then
this post might be just for you :-)’
