[openbeos] Re: running NewOS?

Well, the good thing about newOS is that we don't have to root through a 
lot of existing code or write to many abstraction layers to make it look 
like it's acting like Be... it's just a microkernel. Just the fact that 
it boots will save us a lot of time. I think if we took something like 
AtheOS as a base, we'd have to content with a more fleshed out OS, which 
in the end could hurt the overall design of the system.
