Did anybody on here hear about AtheOS, a free operating system for the Intel architecture released under the GPL license? I've been looking at the screenshots and see some familiarities...

AtheOS : Comment 11 of 36ANN.lu
Posted by Kurt Skauen on 04-May-2000 22:00 GMT
In reply to Comment 10 (Anonymous):
: And the multiple "desktops" which can be any colour depth/res, and the "GUI is
: much more inegrated part of the OS than X-windows" and the general layout and
: style of the apps.
The Amiga does not have mutliple desktops, it have multiple screens, a totaly different story. In AtheOS you have a fixed number of desktops (32) where the user *not necesarily* the programs can arrange his windows. On the Amiga the program has to create it's own "screen" and then open it's own windows on it. The user can not (IIRC) set the screen mode on the different screens in a central configuration programs. Yes I know the Amiga have "public screens", and that a screen can be set to "changhai" windows, but AFAIK there is no way (for the user) to move a window from one screen to another.
BTW: It is now possible to write a plugin to the gui server and replace the border rendering, and thus make it look totaly non-Amiga :)
