Here's some axioms, ideas, and polemics cLIeNUX is based on or strives
for.....


Nobody "knows unix". 

We are all newbies. 

Learning unix is best done by learning how to learn unix.

A system is only as good as the docs.

2 stacks are better than one.

Simplicity is robust.

Hiding information isn't friendly.

If you can't obtain the sourcecode, you don't control the box.

If you can't crash something, you're not the driver.

Graphical tools are for graphical tasks.

A system is used top-down, but can only be built bottom-up.

The proper point from which to build a net services system is a net client
	system.

The distinctions between user and admin, user and programmer, application
	and operating system, and others, are arbitrary and frequently 
	counter-functional. 

The "best" of something is often a couple of somethings.

Sometimes re-inventing the wheel is faster than finding the exact wheel you
	want.

A market paradigm can be devised to cooperate well with the above axioms
	and reward individuals who also do.
