Yeah, i think the next BIG STEP (tm) would be to have a standardized directory on the hard drive where all userland apps would be stored, and an easy installer for the userland apps. Maybe a web based kernel builder where you could check what you want in the kernel, and you get a custom kernel to download... this was discussed a while back and would ROCK. The problem right now is that anything that isn't in Hijack and has to be patched in isn't to accessible for non *nix people.
