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.
And you cannot install it without a cdrom, perhaps its not yet ready for you.
Its not close to being finished. And honestly it installs more easily then any other *nix-like os Ive tried. Simple commands, well documented, etc.
I'm really happy this fork is coming, ifconfig/route/something else wasnt done right and alot of people couldnt get atheos on the net even with supported hardware. So hopefully this will adress that, and let me really play around with ahteos.
