Well it seems that it has been released. However it appears that only the first ISO out of the promised two is actually available so far. People are starting to seed it across torrents and CUSA are asking that people increase their upload limits to allow others to get it quicker. I doubt we will see any kind of imformative "review" except for the usual bunch of shotgun reviews you often get with the fanatical types.
 
C-A.org seems to be having a spike in guests but the same 13 members seem to be lurking there all day.
 
Obviously the release was delayed for some reason, I pretty much assume the line about last minuet bugs was more a case of smoke and mirrors because of certain ceremonies that went on today.
 
Thats pretty much it though. To say they have been banging on about this OS for a while it's entered the world to very little fanfair.

I noticed the same thing about Amiga.org. There seems to be about 1/3 extra users online than usual lately. I'm guessing it's because of CUSA?

Crit are you going to download it and give us a very subjective review? I need a good laugh right now... :hammer:

Why download it? I have Ubuntu running on my machine and also have Linux Mint on a live DVD. I think I whip up a review for it in no time :)
 
in fact here is a taster.

Bottom line it's no different to any other distro. It tries to be flashy but holds no real substance. Which is odd considering how bloated it is.

BTW Kesa I love your avatar image. It pretty much sums up my mood here at work.

There has been a few times where I have looked at someone and thought "are you doing it to wind people up or you really that stupid".

They are using compiz and the emerald window editor thing. That's how the visual effects are been performed. To be honest I am not a fan but hey oh.

Without downloading I couldn't be sure. However I wouldn't think they would go through the hassle of setting up their own repository.

To say OSX is based on BSD is not the entire truth. OSX was derived from NeXTSTEP. NeXTSTEP was based on the mach kernel and some BSD source code.

The mach kernel was developed and eventually replaced the kernel in BSD. The mach kernel is at the heart of OSX, however it's not a true mach microkernel, but uses the XNU operating system kernel. The kernel from XNU is not a microkernel.

The old NeXSTEP/OPENSTEP screen shots remind me so much of AmigaOS.

BSD, is a form of Unix, use to be called Berkeley Unix. (Berkeley Software Distribution).

Unix does not equal Linux. Linux is Unix like but it's kernel is not derived from Unix.

Commodore OS..... is just linux with some tweaking. Is it a new OS like they have been stating? Ahh... no. It's a linux distribution.

Maybe if they built it from the kernel up it could be touted as a new OS, but to me this is just false advertising.

Anyway good luck with their product, I guess they actually have something out there that can be bought.

Update - Actually only the video footage is touting it as a new OS, the blurb on their site does mention it's a linux distribution, quote - "Commodore OS is a community driven Linux distribution for Commodore enthusiasts".

If you're going to quote adsense you might want to know how it works.   It's actually based on your location/search history. ;)  So what exactly were you looking for?
