Hmm, I assume you mean the subject says it all?
Nothing really, it's just another open source OS.
I'd like to think that it's reasonably clean, and
developed with the intention to make it pretty
stable and robust. Design before implementation.
Also, I've designed it to be as cross-platform
as possible, as a restriction to keep the platform
specific hacks in one place, and to allow me to port
it to a few of the odd machines floating around.
Right now it's mostly a kernel, so from the end
user point of view, there's really nothing special
at all, since you can't do much with it. It's starting
to move in the direction of fleshing out the user
space portion of the system, so real apps can start
to be written soon. Other essential features of a
usable non-embedded os such as a disk-based fs
and other goodies are in the pipe and will be dealt
with relatively soon.
The whole project is pretty young, only being around
for about a year, with a big hole of non-activity
at the start of 2001. I can't spend a whole lot of
time on it, so it's moving pretty slowly. Lately
I've added some more people to the team, and the
kernel functionality is reaching a point where things
dont depend on features that dont exist so more
parallel projects are being worked on. It should
reach a point pretty soon where things can really
start happening, and then we'll see how special it
may become.
