Please stop speculating about Anubis. Here are some facts from the source!
Q: Anubis can be argued to be a linux distro in that it uses the linux kernel?
A: True - but even though that is said, it will be the most unique linux distro in this case, not having much in common with any other distro out there
Q: Anubis is like Amithlon?
A: False. Anubis has nothing to do with AmigaOS other than look and feel / ideas. It will not run your Amiga apps without an emulator (neither does Windows)
Q: Anubis will have an AmigaOS API layer?
A: False. We dont care about source compatability. We are developing new APIS, even though there might be ideas inspired from Amiga
Q: Anubis, based on Linux, will be nothing new. Boring.
A: False. Anubis is new in that it uses many Amiga concepts not seen on Linux in this form. For instance, we use the same kind of file system structure as AmigaOS, with assigns, volumes and paths like "Anubis:Libraries/" and "Devices:"
I some times wonder
So much speculation when in reality, nobody, except me and two or three others know anything beyond what is on the Anubis website. What almost shocks me (if it werent for the fact that Im not a teen any more and know people behave this way) is that many of you *just pull fantasies out of thin air* and act like you know what you are talking about. Please do not fool yourselves.
ferrellsl: Please just consider Anubis nonexistant until we release Milestone 1. Discussions and speculation before that is just silly.
others: Vaporware, hot air, whatever. Please don`t insult us by assuming that we have promised something we can not deliver on. Until Milestone 1 is released, just call Anubis an ongoing development in the first phase. This is not vapor.
Please read this and let it sink in:
Anubis is an Amiga inspired OS in early development based on the Linux kernel which has new APIS and reinvents the wheel

Hope this is clear now
