You aren't going to be able to run a modern os on 68K based machines, I can't see how a back port would be possible. Also it would be nice to see it on QNX which is Microkernel based and much more designed to the Amiga ideal.
Neutrino and Dragonfly were originally considered but the question of hardware support popped up. As Apple proved, if you can hide the unix style ugliness below the GUI, even Macheads can not only use it, but brag about it. Days of 7MHz 68000, micro kernels made sense. Today's multi core, not too many will be impacted with a slimmed down monolithic kernel. With todays god like gfx cards, end users demand hardware acceleration for 2D/3D. The end users have paid for a great gfx card, shouldn't they get the benefit that they paid for?
I think the Amiga Community should stop thinking of the past as the current standards and demand today's standards. Lets compare what we demanded and got from our Amigas back in the 80s and very early 90s, we got a killer machine for minimal money. Why is it today people will settle for the opposite, because they are chained to the past? For the purest out there, let me remind you that C= used TripOS to base AOS on. You and I both know if the owners of C= IP got a bunch of money, huge contracts, and old C= coders back, they would jump to a modern kernel in a heartbeat to restart AOS.
Anubis doesn't have money, contracts, IP, but it does have a burning in the belly for what today's AOS should be. It damn well better squeeze every possible drop of horse power out of it's existing hardware, just like AOS did on the Amiga, with no excuses.
The reason why Anubis was shoved into the public eye was not for end users for some prepay scam. It was done to get the word out to like minded developers that they can make a difference at the beginning of a OS development. How many Amiga devs left for Linux/BSD? They now can put their knowledge of both AOS and Linux to work. Anubis can be found on source forge under
ARIX.
