Anubis OS: AROS-developers start new, Amiga-inspired operating system
Some active as well as former AROS-developers want to write a new operating system.
Anubis OS (still empty homepage) is not a Fork that means a branch of AROS because for lack of ressources no compatibility to AmigaOS 3.1 is aimed. Instead of it the Linux-based operating system is supposed to be inspired of AmigaOS. Because many of the developers will be no longer availble for AROS it might yet represent a disunion of the AROS-project.
There will be a first ISO-file with the developing status of Anubis OS around New Year. Mainly Anubis OS will be supposed to represent like Apple's Fusion of Mac OS and BSD to Mac OS X but based on AmigaOS and Linux. A main focus will be an easy to use user-interface. So the Linux basis will provide the functionality (e.g. 2D and 3D graphic drivers) but the user-interface will be inspired by Amiga.
The following AROS-developers are involved: Michal Schulz, Hogne Titlestad, Ola Jensen, Robert Norris, Michael Grunditz, Oliver Brunner, Olivier Tigreat, Pavel Fedin, Stanisław Szymczyk and Paul J. Beel. (snx) (Translation: dr)
