Despite what the project name's suffix might imply, Whitix is in fact not a Linux distribution. Whitix is a new operating system, written from scratch, and aims to combine the stability of UNIX with the user friendliness of other platforms. "It will offer a consistent, clear interface and a new way to navigate the desktop while basing the fundamentals on proven system technology updated for the twenty-first century." The project released version 0.2 today.

When I saw this news listing I thought, "oh great YET ANOTHER OPERATING SYSTEM..."
It's not like we don't have ENOUGH operating systems that are half done.
So off I surfed to the website and I saw, "Python, Mono..." And then I became interested!
I also think that while "real men" program in "real languages", those days are gone. I myself have programmed in C, and C++, but to go back to C++ it would have to be with a pointed gun!
C I can understand since there are some real needs for C. But C++, and what it has become, is simply too complex.
