I'm getting a status report!

Autumn to listen? Don't understand, sorry :-)
Kaj

I guess we'll speak English

takes advantage of multicore processors?

Gathering, Autumn
Yes, SMP design from the beginning, and we fixed the implementation 
last year
BeOS model

the 10 second boot is very appealing
if the other stuff is there too!
Kaj

Yeah, it's like a carrot that is dangling just too far :-)

MorphOS booting still faster though. Version 2.0 close to release. 
Hopefully it has native tcp/ip stack at least now :-)

Watch the announcement, though :-)

hehe, Syllable ported to Efika PPC board :-)

Yes, Amiga tech is the only thing that is still faster. But outdated 
tech and more stuff missing than in Syllable

is Syllable multiuser? Not that I would strictly require that from 
desktop os personally ....
Graham

make sure that the license says it can't be used by the military!
Kaj

[902]
I dunno what crazy things the military wants
Graham

I remember they used to have Amiga 3000s on war ships .. because 
they rebooted faster than windows PCs
Kaj

There's a specific open-source license for that, but never heard 
of it again
Open source only works if it's egalitarian
Multi-user: check (unlike Haiku)

so, can 10 users be logged in to the same PC with their own video 
cards,keyboards and mice?
simultaneously?
Kaj

The army can use it if they want. I think it's our responsibility 
to take the technology in our own hands and become a people's army 
again
No, partly because we don't support multiple video cards yet
Graham
15-Jun-2007
[911x2]
oh .. no multiple monitors then either?
ie. dual head videocards
Kaj
15-Jun-2007

Not yet

open office?

Graham - you are pushing too hard :-) Those questions will get Kaj 
into depression. You surely don't want him becoming part of your 
EMR system, right? :-)

just looking at the chess screenshot .. white is playing an unusual 
opening
Pekr

black's last move was e7-e5 which sacrifices a pawn for no good reason.
I think you need a better screenshot!

Pekr, an OS that boots in 10 seconds, has a fully functional scriptable 
browser, printing, and rebol would be ideal for my EMR as a client 
platforml.
Skype as well would be good.

Graham - what about some small linux distros? E.g. knoppix?

I'll relay the Chess complaint :-)

I've downloaded a livePC of DSL but couldn't get it to work for me 
... no internet connectivity.  Maybe it's because I tried a vista 
host.

Yeah, actually that was a misspost, I wanted to actually ask, why 
is he not using Trac?
