The new version of Linux, called UserLinux, is being proposed by
open-source sage Bruce Perens, who claims to have the backing of some of
the world's largest companies, across a number of business sectors.
UserLinux, which will be paid for with multimillion-dollar donations from
Perens' corporate backers, will be free for unlimited use, and will be
certified by large computer makers.
UserLinux will be based on Debian GNU/Linux, a long-standing Linux project
with roughly 1,000 developers behind it. UserLinux would only depart from
Debian for software that is not open source, such as 3-D drivers, said
Perens.
