New Linux OS

[MMA]

Lets just say we have paused the development of dux for now. This is becuase some of us in the team goto College/Uni/School and would like to revise and concentrate on their exams.

So we'll have something to download and install after the exams, which could be july or august.

Keep checking

Yes, paused would be the word. But not dead. We have to edumacate ourselves, both in school and in what it's taking to keep truckin on with the project.

Slow, but not dead.

Huh? What u guys are trying to do?? Make a new OS?

My suggestion, to accomplish your goals, why don't start with writing a kernel patch that will allow linux kernel to run Mac OS binaries. Someday Linus will notice ur patch and incorporate it into the linux kernel, and let the linux vendors do their job. I think it is a much more realistic goal than to create a new full blown OS.

Also ur website at dux.sunsite.dk doesn't really work. It is very very slow from here. About 3D GUI, there is a project called 3dwm. Good luck.

Don't give suggestions if you're not going to read the thread. Mac support has been suggested in at least 50 posts, and we already discussed 3dwm.

I must say this is dumb, dumb, DUMB!

MAKEDEV? You could use devfs, IMHO it's quite a bit better. You don't take up a
thousand device nodes that way, which is why I think it's better.

It's a bit odd at times, but the biggest
hurdle is just the chicken-and-egg problem
where you don't have a device file to query
so that the module loads, because the module
loading is what creates the file.
So you have to run devfsd to look for ... something.
I don't remember exactly what it's for, but I do know
you need it.

yep i agree that devfs is usefull.
from gentoo forum:

What is devfs? Do I really need it in my kernel? 

Devfs isn't a file system in the traditional sense of the 
term with regard to how data is structured inside a partion. 
Rather, devfs is a system that allows the kernel to 
automagically make relevent hardware device entries 
in your /dev/ directory when it initializes a driver 
that is either built into the kernel or when a 
module is loaded. 

While Gentoo can be run without devfs, 
you will have to manually make new device entries 
in the /dev/ directory on your own with the mknod or 
mkdev commands, which introduces some extra (and usually needless) complexity

Why, oh why. was this ressurected... :-p

[bwkaz]

Boy, I wish I hadn't said that about devfs...

Udev is much better nowadays (just in case anybody gets the idea to take my advice there... )
