Not too long ago, Robert Szeleney put the development of SkyOS on a temporary hold. The challenges in keeping up with the ever-changing world of hardware support were simply too big to continue SkyOS then-current development model. As a result, Szeleney recently came up with the idea of using a Linux or NetBSD kernel as the base for SkyOS. Well, we've got a progress report on that one, and in true Szeleney fashion, a lot of work has already been done.

This will not be something like SkyBuntu. He will not be using X.org or any X server. He is using the Linux kernel to driver the rest of the operating system.
My guess about the GNU userland apps is that they will probably be used as well as this automatically gives you a large amount of apps. Also it makes porting software easier if you have the GNU userland.
Good luck to Robert.
p.s. Screenshots?
