I did a few searches to remind me if Ion (not Ian) is an existing, possibly
Web-based, operating system (think 2.0). There are about a dozen Web
operating systems that get noticed. Anyway, I think Ion was just a separate
project that does fit the scale of something like an O/S... so maybe Debbie
can marry Ion and make something robust out of it.
Debsun OS?
Sunian?
OpenDebbie 10?
Okay, this is getting strange. Need some tea...
