> What stood out to me was that it was always mainly criticism on his technical ability. I do remember that kind of discussion amongst the fringe OSdever crowd but honestly I always found Terry's work motivational and technically solid. I think a lot of the criticism for him was bourn from the fact that he had a complete hand-made kernel, OS, and toolchain and almost everyone else had a copy-pasted bootloader -- and only half of those even enabled the a20 line.
