A new Amiga OS ??????

[Argo]

Amiga styled window manager on top of Linux, that is what I've gathered from AROS-EXEC.

I have a very good feeling about this, the goals are reasonable and within reach.  AROS had neither.

Had?   :-o

 AROS has neither.

There fixed that.

Given the description, I'd have to say not it will not run any Amiga software. Not without an emulator. It will, however, run all that modern software.

Basically, a I wan't a modern Amiga OS and I want it NOW! OS.

No, I think their goals might be similar to Mac OS X.

Comments at the AROS Show say it is not going to use a stripped down Linux Kernel.
 
Can't be an AROS fork. Using a Linux Kernel kills the idea of a fork. Unless you know of someone insane enough with loads of free time to get the Linux Kernel APIs and the AROS API to work together somehow.

The whole project was spurned out of one devs bounty attempt and his frustration of haveing to fix and/or add APIs and components to AROS in order to try to get the port he was working on the possibility of working.

So, I assume that this will be a non-backwards compatable modern vision of Amiga OS.

He was talking about getting AROS backported to 68k for UAE use. Which would give us an Amiga compatiable OS and ROMs free of Amiga, Inc.
