Graphene is fighting the good fight but ..

basic core philosophy is actually from UNIX. The only real difference is that Linux is licenced as free and open source and can't be put back in a box, which happened to unix systems. But all the collaboration and camaraderie even the small programs with one task idea (so that your can pipe them one...
