*nix Clone(s)?

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Hey, just out of curiosity.....

Who here is developing a Unix/Linux clone or like kernel?
And what did you name it?

Hi,

Although my kernel design does not intend to be anything like Unix, I will certainly have enough of a compatibility layer to port a C++ standard library, GCC and (hopefully) NASM.

I've vaguely indicated before that after that point, I want to concentrate on getting JIT compiling working and gradually move userland code away from using precompiled binaries.

Cheers,
Adam

Hi,

I am creating a POSIX "clone" (although I dislike the term for its negative connotations).

I have called it Jimix, because I am extremely imaginative :?

Although I'm not creating a *nix clone, since I've been impressed by the design of Unix my OS may have a resemblance to it.
