Line 47:
{{main|Mister Perfect}}
Mister Perfect wants to write a perfect operating system, as he looks at all the flaws current operating systems have. He researches many design and implementation possibilities in order to decide what is better. He starts over multiple times in order to assure quality and perfectness.
=== Andy Microbaum ===
{{main|Andy Microbaum}}
Andy is a fan of small kernels who put much stuff done in a monolithic kernel into userspace.

* '''[[Dae Dreamer]]'''- Someone who spends all their time day dreaming and reading about operating systems, but hasn't yet started one.
* '''[[Duct von Tape]]''' - Someone that reuses a lot of code and combines it into a horrible frankenstein of a project. Or perhaps [[:Category:Lovecraftian|lovecraftian]]?
