Hm, you guys move things around until it fits, right?


Yeah, we just here to stirr troubles. Ask Atheist, the 2nd.

I don't know current situation at QNX, but thier OS WAS at thier site, ready to download. I've used it for period of time and it was OK. But I moved to Linux after a while. Also, I have orginal release of QNX 6.something from the "Lets use QNX kernel as new building block of AmigaOS".

If things changed, I wasn't up to date, and I had no intention in misinformation of other users.

All in all I am happy that you guys brought up the QNX example. In fact it's business modell is much more like the Amiga approach. Just more restrict and more expensive. That's what you want ?


Well, I didn't brought it up -- but I wouldn't mind to see AmigaOS in position of QNX: well performing, respected, and running on dozen of boards OS that can be used by developers and as end-env. for your products. Hyperion stated that they are going embedded with OS4, so they would have to compete with OSes like QNX for RT and Linux for non-RT (IIRC, some patches for Linux kernel-RT are about to be accepted by Linus).

Quote:
But you will quickly learn, that this version is not usable in everydays business.


As a developer I'd rather have OS limited by licence (easy to change if I'll find it usable) than OS limited by lack of HW (because it's a thing I can not fix).
