Comment (by fano):

 Yes I'm thinking to use it to (I hope in 3 years can be done) to replace a
 commandline linux see this "mokup" (imagine BTerminal as a replicant)
 attached, I've tried to modify too bootscript to obtain this:

 * Tracker with a Terminal occuping the center 80% of the screen on 9
 Screen (ALT+F# as on Linux change screen a screen == a virtual console,
 right?), Terminal is replicant
 * Tracker has not Desktop icons
 * No Deskbar if BTerminal it is not sufficient, use Launchpad
 * In the right bottom corner a new replicant to show Date & Time
 * Mediakit, Printer Kit, Debug Server (in a production enviroment core
 does NOT exists, right?) and so on... REMOVED!
 * Remove more application (that) you can... a cmdline need BePDF? No,
 remove! A cmdline needs a WebPositive? No, remove! ... and so on
 * Try to obtain to smallest image possible (the new package manager I
 suppose permits to boot from a compressed /Boot volume), it should go in a
 flash 256 MB is OK, 128 is better, 64 is awesome
 * In this "personality" Haiku can work on a simple AVR RISC CPU or in a
 Pentium I with 32 MB of Ram, without a problem, IMHO :-)

 So we'll do it?
 If you want to give me some pointers I can do it myself, no problem I like
 a lot to play with Haiku API,it's fun :-)
