yay.. yet another amigaish OS, just what we need... or maybe not


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.

I don't know anything about Anubis.  This thread is the first I've heard of it and as I said earlier I haven't even seen the website.

That said, I can certainly see a huge difference between something like AROS, which is API compatible and hopefully would continue to grow to be close to AOS3.9, 4.1, and MorphOS so that we can cross compile programs easily enough so they run on each system.  I think Wookie Chat might be a good example of this.


Now, I could be mistaken about Anubis, but I could easy see something that really has nothing more to do with AmigaOS, than "looking like it", possible using such things as C, LIBS, DEVS, S, and concepts like Startup-Sequence, User-Startup, but on maybe a highly modified Linux kernal or something.

The internals wouldn't have anything to do with current Amiga Like OSes, but could to the user could be similar.  Inspered so to speak.
