nice to see that Athene is still making progress. any idea when the linux version will have sound support?
I guess a BeOS version of Athene is too much to ask for so, I won’t

Between 2 and 4 weeks. It’s of top priority.

Hell would have to freeze over… more than once :-). You would be better off building an Athene interface to remind you of BeOS.
Can someone tell me what is this?
A full OS or an environment?
If it is a full OS then why is it “for windows” or “for linux”?
It is a graphical operating environment. Check our archives for more information about Athene.
Thanks.
I just downloaded and tried it.
Looks pretty good
Very responsive.
Its good to see a NZ company doing somthing interesting.
Any chance you’ll be hiring in a year or so when I graduate?
looks like an emulator to me… only that it emulates a virtual machine (like Java?) and that virtual machine is very configurable and hack-albe.
a strange mix between boches and Java?
or am i missing something?
anyway, it looks very nice and it is quite fast.
