from the ReactOS page: (basing osfree on reactos does not make it os/2. it makes it windows nt.)
ReactOS is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system that is compatible with
Windows NT applications and drivers.

2david can you stop saying stupid things? Can you technicaly compare L4 and ReactOS? None
kernel selected yet! If you can do something - do it. If not - not flame here pls.

Dear Dr. Tom Wilkie of Scientific Computing, Recently in the US in papers and in magazines there
is talk about a "Post-PC era." Has anyone looked at it carefully? Its about centraliz(s)ed control of
information and technology. I am waiting for the breakup of the conglomerates. If only vertical
and horizontal monopoly, cross holding of shares, and holding companies will become illegal!

http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/L4/ here is the L4 page! (from the page) The L4 Е-Kernel
Family Overview What is L4? Originally, L4 is the name of a second-generation Е-kernel
(microkernel) designed and implemented by Jochen Liedtke, running on i486 and Pentium
CPUs. However, there are now numerous implementations of the L4 API (application
programming interface) on several hardware architectures. That's why, on this website
we usually refer to the ``L4 Е-kernel interface'' (see below). When we refer to Jochen's
original implementation, we say ``L4/x86''. What implementations of the L4 Е-kernel
interface do exist? There are implementations for x86, Alpha, ARM, and R4x00 CPUs.
Please see the implementations page for more information. http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/L4/impl.html
(the L4 family) Implementations of the L4 Е-Kernel interface The implementation
names are links to the implementations' home pages where you can find documentation
and further information about that L4 implementation. (In approximately reverse-chronological

I still support writing a custom kernel. Work is going very slow. Still trying to
get all of the pieces together.

Hello Guys! 1)How is this development project going? Is it still alive? 2)Have you
selected which kernel to use? 3)Why do we need that crazy Logical Volume Manager?
4)Will OSFree support Java? 5)What filesystem will it run on? Thanks for the answers
in advance, Warper
