A new BeOS, and a new OS model

Here is another group of BeOS fans working on a project that has made significant progress. BlueEyedOS attempts to provide all the BeOS api and user experience goodness on a base of the Linux kernal and the XFree86 graphics api.

I will watch this with great interest - there is a bootable demo CD that you can download which I will try. Apparently ex-Be developers should be able to do a fairly simple recompile of their code, which could mean lots of nice multimedia apps very soon :)

Also note that you may see references to a proprietory License - but the project has infact just switched over to the LGPL in order to attract more developers.

Although I like the sound of the linux kernal approach, OpenBeOS is actually showing quite a lot of progress, with nearly all of the major code segments in beta or late alpha...
