NN "command line operating system" (whatever that may be). Google hit on http://c9online.l2p.net/index.php – "the home of Whitix" – is a dead link. Other Google hits seem to be in Malaysian or something, but I suspect that that "Whitix" is a game character. Creator of Whitix, Matthew Whitworth has been A7 speedied.. Tonywalton

- Delete A command line operating system is an OS that uses a prompt (like the old DOS, and most unix varieties), but as far as I can tell Whitix has only one user. The homepage is dead, and the only place it's mentioned in google (in english) is one person's sig file on one message board. Completely NN. --Bachrach44 21:04, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
- Not really: an operating system doesn't care about command lines or whatever. Unix is an operating system, and happily talks either to a command line or to a windowing environment (X11 on Solaris, Quartz on Mac OS X, for example). The term "command line OS" sort of says to me that Master Whitworth maybe isn't quite as au fait as he thinks he is… Whatever. Tonywalton

- Hi, Matthew Whitworth here. I wasn't aware of this article on Wikipedia before now, and it was not started by me - by a user called Bakie (I'm not responsible for the vanity :)) - who might not be well-versed in operating systems. Yes, the homepage is dead, but that's because I haven't been able to keep it going. CloudNine
- Delete NN, vanity. Key phrases like "Matthew is a very talented programmer and has a good future ahead of him." seem to indicate this could even be speedied. HackJandy 22:50, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
