[Syllable] The free desktop and server operating system family

REBOL 3 is now in there, as on the live CD, including my cURL binding. 
I upgraded Boron to the latest version. ORCA is also still in there, 
for the Syllable package manager. I also added Fossil and many other 
components

Red/system?

The Red/System compiler is written in REBOL 2 which I don't think 
runs on Syllable desktop. Some work would probably needed even if 
REBOL 2 is there.

Yes, there's no R2, but if there were, Red/System would work. It 
will be included in the next Syllable Server
If Red/System takes a long time to be rewritten in Red, it might 
be an option to get it to run on R3, so it would run on Syllable 
Desktop

Is that particularly difficult?
ie. are the differences between R2 and R3 that great ?

Since Red/System has its own struct! library for R2/Core, I think 
it should be doable to port it to R3, which also lacks struct! (it's 
there, but somehow unimplemented)
Not sure I want to spend time on it, because Red is next in the planning. 
But if you're looking to help... :-)
