Why is it necessary to recreate BeOS? We have a beautiful kernel, although we do not have the code for it, does not mean that we can not use it. The thing we have to do for starters is replacing the net_server. That should not be impossible, and all i want in the beginning is stability. The stability of the current net_server is, well... bad. After that we can start to move on. I think this should work to keep BeOS alive, but you seem to want to create a open-source version of BeOS, which I think is not that nice of an idea. I have nothing against creating another open-source OS, but I do not think we should base that upon BeOS. BeOS is nice, but it is far from perfection. Regards /Procton
