This page -->
http://wiki.osdev.org/What_order_should ... ings_in%3F <-- gives the following links.
http://wiki.osdev.org/Lino_Commandohttp://wiki.osdev.org/Nick_Stackyhttp://wiki.osdev.org/James_T._Klikhttp://wiki.osdev.org/Eleanore_Semaphorehttp://wiki.osdev.org/Alta_LangIMHO they are all completely useless and should be erased from the wiki. I didn't want to do that without asking what you guys think first.
P.S.: Sorry, I'm too lazy to use BBCode right now.

It kind of gives some useful information... being completely obsessed with one part of your OS (and ignoring everything else) is usually not a good thing and it provides some pointers for preventing this kind of mistake.
Not that I'd really miss them if they were gone, but it isn't like they take up a huge ammount of space

I vote they should stay. I find them to be interesting takes on OS deving and represent different orders things can be built in. This can help new comers to decide on which one they would like, or a hybrid of them.

I also vote that they stay. I mean, why get rid of them? Plus, they are a bit fun to read for newcomers.

Obviously since it was written by that Pattrick guy. Page deleted.

IMHO they should stay. They give important information on what to do if all you want is a command-line OS (for example). What they need is cleanup, not deletion.

No, the whole internet is fake. But does it really matter?

Since it somehow looks like English is not your native language, the moment you try to interpret the names it becomes pretty obvious they've been created that way on purpose: Lino Commando -> Lines of Commands...

Though "Lino Commando" would be a pretty cool name for a floor-covering installation business.
