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.

>and there's talk of writing some kernel modules in D and other safer languages
I for one think, keep it up! This is exactly what we need.
Yes somethings need to be in C, and some things need lower level features. BUT there should be as much use of safer languages as possible.
Keep up the new thinking...
