It appears as though it's probably a little more functional than Linux was when Linus Torvalds first publicized its existence. But it looks like something you work with, at this point, if you want to build a graphical OS environment "nearly from scratch." Why that should excite people more than Linux, *BSD, or the projects to recreate things resembling BeOS or NeXTStep, I am not sure. It's not completely clear what the purpose of it is; it looks more like a "quasi-recreation of BeOS" than anything else. -- (concatenate 'string "cbbrowne" "@acm.org") http://cbbrowne.com/info/oses.html Pay no attention to the PDP-11 behind the front panel. -- PGS, in reference to OZ
