Oh, come on Dammy.
You wouldn't be publicising the website in your sig and having a countdown on the site if you didn't want people to speculate.

Speculating is fine and dandy. Coming to a conclusion before any facts are presented is not the wisest thing to do. The actions of heating the tar and preparing the feathers based on zero facts is another matter entirely.

I did not start this thread, Amigang did. I just posted that folks shouldn't jump to an conclusions till they have the facts in front of them. In 29 days the corporate web site will be up with a wealth of information.

I think you know what Kronos means.

Anyway, good luck with it if it's something you honestly believe is worthwhile and useful and will benefit the Amiga community.

@Kronos

Intriguing expression. I would say it's worse when the ducks are in FRONT of the wrong cart, being the owner of several ducks AND carts, but each to his own

Look up with word deceive, deception and get back to me. The OS/4 OpenLinux project has not in any way tried to deceive or create an alternate belief on what the community would be getting

You don't need to be jealous, a few Muscovy ducks won't cost a fortune and will happily stay in your garden if you just provide them with a basin of fresh water (they need to wash their faces in the morning) and a bunch of food daily. I'm building a shed for them, but then the winter here can be harsh

I get a LOT of poo on my lawn, but this doesn't exactly hurt anyone.

Edit:
From Wikipedia:
"Male Muscovy Ducks have spiralled penises which can become erect to 20 cm in one third of a second. Females have cloacas that spiral in the opposite direction to try to limit forced copulation by males."

Respect.

The most fascinating form of deception is self-deception

You're confusing things, what you describe was the "Commodore" Vision/OS, Anubis was a completely different idea.
Anyway, in the "Amiwest planning" thread Terminills said that it isn't *nix related... unless "no-ish" has an hidden meaning for us non native speakers

@ARIX Team...

Well, Guys... If you managed to get Linux Kernel and you wrapped to it: Exec and UAE to held compatibility with the past, adapted amiga devices system (i.e. pure Hard Disks devices HD0:, HD1:, HDxxx:, naming conventions and filesystem... and not linux philosophy "everything is a file"), and mainly Amiga GUI complete of Intuition (talking of AROS as base system we intend Wanderer not GNOME or KDE) and so on...

...Then you are welcome and we are ready to evaluate your product with open mind considering all pro and all cons...

If your system is good and you succeded to wrap all Amiga System around Linux Kernel then RESPECT... and we will hail you...


But...


If your system is nothing than an evoluted clone of AEROS where AROS is just HOSTED on Linux then...

Well... ...be prepared to run away from this forum at lightspeed as you will loose all your reputation and dignity of skilled programmers and obviously of amigans too...


Because we have enough of all this bulls***!

It is a friendly warn...

@Raffaele

Ahem... Noticed :)

@Dammy

I'm curious about it.

I have seen a lot of people whining about Amithlon, somehow Amithlon was just a perfect UAE without hardware emulation well integrated into a host system. But it still needed AOS3.x

Now with Aros 68k no one would need AOS3.x for an Amithlon, such a system around a Linux (BSD?) kernel could run 68k software (without chip banging) as good as Amithlon and provide full Aros x86 compatibility.

So if it is some kind of Aros hosted with Amithlon like integrated 68k emulation I would welcome this system.

But maybe it will be something totally different ... well I'm curious
