One OS to them all
One OS to find them
One OS to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them...

Sorry I've been drinking

Just an idea but if people wanted to create a unified Amiga OS, perhaps it would be wise to start with something like NetBSD and lay out an Amiga esque userland on top of it.

That way, we'd have a kernel that could run on anything from 68k to x86_64. And at least for non-68k systems, running 68k applications wouldn't make much of a difference (they require emulation anyways).


I always thought it would be great if MOS team worked with OS4 devs using Aeros as a base for OS5. It could bring together the best bits if all three OS's with the power, drivers etc of Linux. It would be multiplatform as well.
