I think that everyone reading OSNews will have heard at least something about QNX. You can regard this article as an introduction, but also as a review, and as a "Is-QNX-Ready-For-The-Desktop? article".

Depends on how much Gnome relies on Linux specific features-- if it doesn't rely on any, it means that once all dependencies are provided, Gnome could compile.
Or am I talking crap now?
