Here is another no payment, we must to know ALL THE TRUTH, not only that BBRV wants to say for his interest and bussines. If you don´t know, Bill Buck was the man behind VISCORP. Clik here

scratching me head....
first post lead to a morhpos/a-box/q-box information link.
as a comparison to what else is available/being worked on now, there is AROS, AROS hosted in the GNU/Linux system, there is the GNU core of the Hurd (micro kernel and server based) which will replace the linux kernel while maintaining much (most all) of the software linux users are use to, while opening up new directions of user freedoms and integration.
in short: AROS being used as a easy to use smart user space OS interfacing with the GNU complete system sound very much (in general tech. overview and initial software package availability terms) to be what the target of the future q-box is.
The time line projection to public/consumer level release of the separate AROS and the Hurd are similiar. Meaning that the combining of these two will likely start sometime this year. (a matter of those in a position to do, realizing it can be done and the value of doing it.)
I do not know what the time line projection of the q-box is, but a notable difference between AROS interfacing with GNU-compelete and the Q-box sum is licensings terms. Free Software/Open Source side of the spectrum on one side and the other being cored in proprietary. (x86 vs. PPC hardware is only an issue for the Q-box side of things as AROS and GNU [linux or the Hurd] portability across platforms is within their goals.)
I'm not aware of any other similiar directions to mention, but in the Amiga oriented vein of things I do believe these are the only two.
Search for the truth??? The truth is that computers are automation machines and that user freedom will be achieved once autocoding is made available to the general user population under such licensings terms as the GPL. Toss in FPGA (or the likes of) based hardware and user freedom will then be optimised to take advantage of hardware speeds.
I'm not searching for the truth, but rather honestly putting forth the effort (within my scope of resources) to make the truth available well enough to enable others to do, who currently are not able to, due the illusionary constraints placed on them by an industry that wants to maintain the constraints for profit. (An industry that even openly admits it - ie, -if you want to be successful, make people need you - Bill Gates...)
shrug.... :) I'd rather need someone for genuine reasons than fabricated ones.
The divide between "Free Software" and proprietary is an interesting one to watch evolve. And it'll be interesting to see the affect autocoding will have on this divide. |
