I will certainly continue to think of Anubis as non-existent, now and for a very long time. All that exists now is a very vague web site and a few words about how great it will be to have another Amiga-like OS based on the Linux kernel.
Nothing new about it. MorphOS does the same thing that Anubis is intending to do, so yes, you're reinventing the wheel. MorphOS may be based on a different kernel but it does the same thing that Anubis is hoping to do. And it not only runs OS4 applications, it also runs MorphOS native-apps. And yes, it's a commercial product and not free but it's available now, but good luck finding hardware to run it on. I'd like to know if Hyperion or the MorphOS crew will be porting to x86 anytime soon. If so, I'll buy from whichever company reaches the market first. I like OS4 and MorphOS equally, although MorphOS does appear a bit more polished. It may never happen so if Anubis sees the light of day, I might actually use that instead.
If Anubis is intended for the x86 then I do see it having a distinct advantage over OS4 and MorphOS. You simply cannot get high-end hardware anymore to run OS4 or MorphOS and porting OS4 or MorphOS to x86 won't be trivial. The PegII and A1 are no longer produced and the SAM is ridiculously overpriced. My PegII will continue to be just a hobbyist toy and conversation piece until someone ports OS4 or MorphOS to x86. AROS has made huge gains lately and I may move to that as my alternate OS if more hardware drivers are written and a decent office suite gets ported....a wordprocessor and spreadsheet program would suffice.
