RiscOS? What is that? Can anyone tell? No conclusive info on this site on what it is.

Gooseberry Clock:
Looks like they sell Acorn Archimedes clones.

psyjax:
These machines are so low-end. What's up?

Obsolete before they were up to date.

ravuya:
RiscOS is a very popular operating system in backbone jobs. It doesn't require much in the way of hardware to get massive performance returns. It's one of the better written OS's on the planet.

The reason why it isn't popular is because it's RISC and won't run on the x86 platform.

ravuya:
There's lots of cheap hardware for them. The OS, from what I've heard and seen, is kind of like Mac OS 7.5, except with UNIX-level stability and less personality (and a Dock).

I'd try it out, but the hardware investment is a bit much.
