www.NewOS.org

newOS is real.

One of the kernel programmers at BE has taken it upon himself to start up an all new OpenSource OS from scratch.
 

It isn't Linux, Windows, or anything else, it's a brand new OS. Hence the name NewOS.
Psyjax! I RULEZZZZ!!! HAR HAR HAR

Nope, get a bootdisk, i should have been a little more specific and provided a link.

I hear quirk is going to help some dude port gnu sh-utils to it or somthing. Really it needs gcc ported and all the other crap (automake, ect).

It doesn't even have a native FS, yet... When you need to compile something for it, you add it to the source and makefiles, recompile, and write the to a floppy.

why should i dead thread it, it is talking about something that happens not to be macos based, windows based, or unix based. this area was made for odd stuff like this

on the subject of newos, isn't the OpenBeOS project using newos for the kernel, and adding all the features of BeOS?

I was thinking, if newos has no Filesystem to parahps use MySQL as the Filesystem, port it so it works in the kernel, directly and efficently.

That's stupid. First of all MySQL is not efficient enough to be for a FS (which, by the way, MS is doing in Longhorn). Second of all, NewOS doesn't need a god damn filesystem.
