OSNews is Exploring the Future of Computing

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 28th Jun 2007 20:35 UTC, submitted by Vanders

Kaj de Vos made two big announcements at SylCon 2007. The first was a new web browser, based on a port of WebKit. The second is Syllable Server, which will bring together the Syllable GUI with the Linux kernel to create a server operating system that compliments Syllable on the desktop. Syllable Server is not based on any existing Linux distribution and will look and feel as much like Syllable as possible.

I hope that after this server OS is developed, the Syllable team will see this as the direction to take the desktop and abandon the ATheOS core.

We will not be dropping the Syllable Desktop kernel for Linux. Syllable Server is a complement to Syllable Desktop, not a replacement. The Syllable kernel is great for desktop users, Linux is great for servers. The inverse is not true.
