That's different to how I remember it... I remember they wanted to turn AmigaOS into a rebadged version of QNX, but later changed their minds, and decided it would be a Linux distro instead.
Doesn't Linux already run the AmigaOne? Imagine the scene - he could return and proclaim the 'new' 'Amiga' immediately... oh, he'd be a hero.
Nah, the new version of AmigaOS back then was to be based on the QNX micro kernel. Basically it would have been the equivalent to ExecSG for AOS4. This was then switched to using a Linux kernel for some reason (which I can't remember).
Personally I would have preferred the QNX route, but now we have ExecSG it's all rather moot.
