The X Protocol was explicitly designed to work over a network.  And as
it was designed in the days of 10mbps ethernet, network efficiency was
baked in[1].  That's why it has a lot of low level drawable primitives
(that are seldom used by many of todays newer X client programs).  It
was much more efficient to send a command to draw a triangle at x1,y1
x2,y2 x3,y3 with fill pattern X and line size Q than to ship the bits
that make up the image over the wire.

In the beginning, it was always used over a network link.  It is only a
recent occurrence (well, recent in the context of the age of X, 20 some
years is not 'recent' to many) where the server and client are both
running on the same CPU and the X protocol is actually being
transmitted over the local loopback interface.

X's network centered design is why the terms client and server are
reversed in X lingo from what has come to be known as 'client' and
'server'.  In X, the 'server' is the component that displays bitmaps to
the user, and which has attached the screen, mouse, and keyboard.  The
'clients' all run remotely elsewhere and simply communicate to the
server via the X protocol.

    <quote>X Protocol Encoding

           The X protocol was originally designed to run efficiently
           over the campus area networks available in the late 1980's,
           which ran at 10Mb/second. As modem performance improved in
           the early 1990's it became almost feasible to run X
           applications over dial-up links.

And still true for Fedora.
Any RPM I install has a corresponding source RPM.
No barriers to adjustment there.

In that sense, you could rename all Linux system calls -- you've got the
source code after all.

There are architectural degrees of freedom, places that you are supposed
to tweak, and places that have been cast in stone by the distro.

For example, you are not supposed to use iptables and ifconfig to alter
the firewall or interface parameters directly because other (systemd)
components expect to be in full control of both.

I can't see how you connected what I said to a straw man pointless goal.
I can rename Linux system calls with a #define, but why would I want to.

Only if stone == software.

My router has a firewall.
One of the things I do right after an install is disable iptables.
Then selinux gets the axe.

Systemd never complains.

Having looked at the documentation for it, it's pretty much a direct
copy of Solaris's SMF (Service Management Facility) which first appeared
in Solaris 10, over 10 years ago, except the config files are a different
format.

People didn't like SMF when they first saw it because it was a change in
something they previously understood, but they very quickly grew to realise
how powerful it is and then made extensive use of the new features.
I expect exactly the same will happen with systemd for same reasons.

Well, Postscript counts as pretty widely used, even if less so today
than in the past.

The relevance is that Sun hardware booted up using Forth.

I ported the Sun OpenBootProm to some custom designed sparc hardware once
upon about 2.6 decades ago... It was an interesting system that one purpose was
to allow plug-in cards (which contained compiled Forth byte code) to run
on either the older 68040 or newer Sparc CPU architecture at the time,
although by the time I was using it, the 68040 was more or less obsolete.

Each card could insert itself into the device tree and be initialised
by the OBP before unix started up then (IIRC) the device information was
passed into unix but that wasn't my job at the time...

Despite using it, hacking it, writing lots of code in it, I'm still not a
big fan of Forth.  I can see its advantages in some instances but I feel
it needs a certian amount of latteral thinking to really get "into" it.

It can produce very compact code though - so the Jupiter Ace which had only 1K
of RAM (or was it 4K?) worked very well and the editor would de-compile the
byte code, then re-compile it into the system.

Yes, it needs a different mind-set.  If you try to write Forth the
same way as, say, c you end up in a mess.  Experience in other
languages is a handicap to good Forth :-)

On a different subject, I've just seen a Lisp OS that's being
developed for the Raspberry Pi, must take a look.

Another very common RPN language is PostScript.  PostScript
code is most often generated by other programs, but it's fun
(and, in my case, productive) to construct PostScript
programs by hand and send them directly to the printer.

FSVO.  I played around with PostScript just once - I had (have) a calendar
program that I hacked up.  When IBM stopped distributing its nice calendars
to customers I modified the program to produce a nearly exact facsimile. 
For several years I printed annual copies for everyone in the IT
department.

Don Lancaster would write about that at one point, promoting
it as a programming language.

I think at the time  he was using an Apple IIE, connected to his
laser printer, which actually had a hard drive built in (for those
repetitive print jobs).  No wonder he wanted to learn Postscript,
he had a massively better computer in the printer.

There is a book tittled _Threaded Interpretive Langauges_ by R. G. 
Loeliger... that explains the internals of Forth well.  It should be 
available through some of the used book services online.

I wrote a program that sent PostScript _indirectly_ to the
printer.  At a PPOE we had a COBOL program that wrote a list
to tape, which we sent to a phototypesetting service.  When
the service closed down, we had to find another way to print
a pretty listing.  We had an old Apple Laserwriter lying around,
so I studied PostScript, then replaced the output routine in the
program to write PostScript to a disk file rather than the old
format to tape.  Then we used the synchronous terminal emulator
hardware and software in one of our PCs to download the file,
and sent it out the PC's serial port to the LaserWriter.

S-Lang <http://jedsoft.org/slang/> was heavily inpired by postscript.
Although now it uses a C-like syntax, it can still be programmed using
RPN.  For example, jed <http://jedsoft.org/jed/>, which embeds S-Lang
as its extension language, has a mode for editing VMS DCL files that is
is still written mainly in RPN:
