this is a good! desk-top os and could help make pegasos sales (posibly) greater. especialy to countries that dont want a microsoft based solution. it could be ported to PPC without to much hastel...what do ya think?

What's that Athene? Never heard of it...

Well, the screenshots look cool.

If it's faster than my Gentoo, it may rock.

Athene

hehe much much faster....especialy the new pre-release HERE

It looks really nice. How hard do you think it wouild be to port to the Pegasos? What software would it run? :)

4 weeks roughly....in theory

4 weeks... good :)

Going to do it yourself, or just throwing numbers out of the blue? :)

a week or so for the pandora engine LINK
and since it uses the linux kernel (which as ew all know runs on PPC as well as x86 and so on) though is a piece of cake three of cource are other aspects to port if it were to be done obviously but nothing to dificult (not requiering basicly a complete rewrite) the Snap Graphics drivers i am not sure about but other than that should be smooth sailing...

(and no i will not and could not port it, there is no way)

Maybe I am wrong, but ain't Athene just an Window Manager? I have it on my box, and it just runs instead of ie. KDE/XFce and runs Linux software. Faster? Maybe, a little bit. More useful than KDE? I'd say no.

u are using the client that runs on top of windows or linux ....there is a normal operating system version but u have to pay for it....its worth it though jsut dig on the site a little

Most interesting thing about Athene/Pandora and the DML concept is its deep Amiga roots. You can find, in OSNews, an interview with Paul Manias, a former Amiga programmer with such a big project he had to migrete to more capable platforms.

this is cool. I am running it on top of windows right now, very fast. I think this would be a nice adition to the pegasos personaly. It would be the only "true" desk-top OS other than MorphOS (I am not including linux as a desk-top OS as I think it has a little ways to go before anyone could simply sit down and use it with ease).

looks cool
