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 25 of 36 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Kurt Skauen on 04-May-2000 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 23 (XDelusion): :As for your icons, are they going to be as easy to manipulate and assign as
:with the Amiga OS, or is it giong to be tiresome, and tricky as with X, and
:Winblows (Which is about the only "Shared Time" OS remaining on the planet
:today.)
It should be easy to manipulate the icons, since they are part of the file they represent. No need for a database, or .info files to keep track of them. Just make an icon in an icon-editor and copy it into a correctly named stream in the file you want the icon to represent. Editing the icon of an existing file can eighter be supported by the icon editor, so it fetches it from the files attributes directly, or you can use a shell-tool to copy the icon attribute to a regular file, edit it and copy it back in. When you move a file the icon will automatically follow, since it is part of the file.
:Either way, beyond the look, I am getting interested, maybe your people and our
:people could talk. Why not!?!? :O)
I'm for sure not looking for a war :)
Not sure if this is the right media for this discussion though. Feel free to join the mailing-list if you whould like to follow the development of AtheOS.
:I don't care it ain't classic Amiga OS, it
:shure as hell ain't going to run my classice Amiga programs, so I am just
:interested in it, because it is not Microshaft, who knows, maybe I will hate
:the Elate/Amiga OS thing, sounds awsome but I have not used it yet. :O( So I
:guess it is Linux and you for now!! :O)
Who know's, maybe someone will port UAE to it some time :)
