Syllable, AtheOS Reportedly, Kurt Skauen hasn't work on AtheOS for the last 9 months, as he currently taking some long vacations away from his pet project. All this time, a lot of dissapointments have been expressed in the (dying) mailing list about the future of AtheOS, already a (semi-)fork has occured with Cosmoe, but still no word from Kurt if or when he will start working on AtheOS again. Update: It seems that a complete fork has already happen, created by some of the main third party AtheOS developers.

Fork it..

Just my opinion. Atheos is a remarkably usable OS with a lot of potential, given that it is in it's early stages of development.

Before anyone says it "yes we all knew Kurt's deal before we used it". However, it has generated a good deal of attention, and interest by more than a few geeks. It would be a shame if it languished in undeveloped obscurity. It's GPL'ed. Fork it and develop it. Or wait for kurt to become interested in it again. If he ever does.
