The Null Device

I downloaded the AtheOS boot disks today and tried playing around with it under VMWare. It boots, loads up the graphical interface (which looks rather Amiga-inspired) and gives me a shell, though I haven't had any luck installing it to the virtual hard disk yet.

AtheOS so far looks like an interesting little OS; probably no less practical than BeOS would have been had it not died. The design seems more clean and modern than Linux (or any other classic UNIX), and there are certainly more new ideas in AtheOS. It could have potential, at least as a hacker toy. (Though I don't think it'll replace Linux for a while.)
