Not too long ago, Robert Szeleney put the development of SkyOS on a temporary hold. The challenges in keeping up with the ever-changing world of hardware support were simply too big to continue SkyOS then-current development model. As a result, Szeleney recently came up with the idea of using a Linux or NetBSD kernel as the base for SkyOS. Well, we've got a progress report on that one, and in true Szeleney fashion, a lot of work has already been done.

Ok, so let me get this straight.
SkyOS is in the process of porting / creating:
Their C++ class library.
Their Message passing system.
An "App server" to handle GUI rendering as a userland process overtop a "kernel"...
Which happens to be Linux.
Is it me, or does this sound like the BlueEyedOS Approach to re-creating BeOS that died a long time ago?
Seriously cool, either way. I wish him luck.
Actually, this system is starting to become interesting to me now.
