Well Jimmy, if you go with that P4+i865 setup you are going to have to make sure this OS runs well on it because I'm going to try the OS out.     :D    

Good luck with it. I hope it turns out great.

When you all release a Beta of it I'll try it out and I'll try to help you all out as much as I can. I'll report the issues and bugs that I find and I will try to fix some of the issues after I report them and if I fix it before you do then I was a help. ;P  I'm assuming that you are going to have the Source Code available too?

code? very likely. I think we all agree (wow, seems amazing) on the BSD license. It's open enough for the OSS fans, but still is closed enough to sell it.

Besides, NeXT was done using the BSD license!

Actually it's not "closed" at all. It just permits derivatives to be "closed". If you want to make it proprietary then why are you using a licence that's even more permissive and 'open' than the GPL? I don't understand how you think using a BSD style licence would make it any more sellable than using the GPL.

JJ,
I see your point with it having to be popular before people will purchase it.
I also, now think that it is a good idea to support more people if we are willing to spend more time doing it.  Which just mentioning not doing it to you makes it seem you'll give it as much time as you possibly could towards getting it like that.

Also, I don't want to make a clone of OSX.  If its not gonna run OSX software there is no point to making an OSX clone.  I think some elements from OSX should go in, and some elements from NeXT should go in, and some elements from windows should go in.
However, it will have to look completely kickass in order for it to become popular.  Cus when people first look at it, they see how it looks, we want them to say "wow" (like u said" right when they lay eyes on a screenshot.  Then when they use it we want them to say "wow" again.
I don't want it to be Aqua, or a half assed copy.  It will have to be something newer and better looking.
I repeat, I do not want this to be a clone of OSX.

HEy cool! You guys shoul now issue a bulletin to the SF help wanted section to attract programmers. Likewise someone should set up the mailing list.

Just some suggestions. I myself did a sourceforge project back in the day. Check it out at:

How do you intend it to leave behind its Linux heritage when it's based on the Linux kernel?
Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Windows is like that

I think they mean to leave behind its "Unix" heritage.
