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.
I my self is a Linux user but for quite long time keep on watching OpenBeOS progress. I've tried AtheOS and quite impressed with its speed and GUI system. However since Kurt stop coding it, my hope for good desktop getting sour.
Since Syallable already started, I wish to see who is the winner, OpenBeOS, BuleEyedOS, YellowTab, Cosmoe or Syallable. Since OpenBeOS just good in pubishing news, I'm hoping that Syallable team will work on different way, providing the usable OS rather than just progress gimmick without any usable thing to try. (well, at least Linux does works and the most usable open source OS currently although many said it lack of this and that)
