Building hype?

What makes you think this is for Amiga?  The website says nothing about the hardware platform it is for.

I know of somebody on DevMaster.net who goes by the screen-name Anubis but I didn't see a mention of it on there either.

it was on Dammy's sig also on a current thread "why are we at war"

here's the replyQuote:
Interesting, is this new 'Anubis' OS a fork of Aros?


No, a AROS fork was not possible with the limited man power at hand. This is not an Amiga like OS, it's an Amiga inspired OS. Some will not like it, but they probably wouldn't like anything beyond their existing favorite(s) so to each their own. The initial WIP ISOs should not be considered the end product but mearly a point during a transitory shift. Anubis OS is aptly named.

One of the reasons Anubis-OS is being made public is to allow those devs who maybe interested get involved now.  I know of two former AROS devs who will be active in Anubis-OS.  I have a very good feeling about this, the goals are reasonable and within reach.  AROS had neither.

Here's hoping it takes off. I don't think the Amiga platform will ever die so long as people who are passionate enough about the system continue to support it.

not AnubOS?  :roll:

It will be a happy day when I can replace Fedora with Anubis on my daily use box.  I wanted to replace Fedora with AROS, but without a real world browser, printing, and other things that make using a computer worth while, AROS wasn't an option.  I have enough Fedora boxes to play admin on, I don't want to do that on my daily use box.  Anubis should be the happy middle that I've dreaming about.

No, it's not Amigaish OS, it's an OS inspired by AOS.  The internals are completely different.

Would be cool to have another OS to play around with.  'Inspired' by Amiga is a good thing in my opinion!  Hope it comes to fruition and maybe we can all test/play around with it.

I assume it's x86?  Site is down so I can't really check anything out so I have no idea if it's just an idea or if it's acutally "in the works" so to speak.  Are you planning on a bootable CD version?  

Have fun with it and I know I'll try to keep updated on it's progress.
