BTW, when we are talking... Does anyone know of a haiku livecd? I managed to download a beos livecd, (xbeox or something similar), but K3B would'nt burn the file inside

Yeah, I knew right after I posted that that someone would call me on it. I actually didn't read "free" in the title there, I just read "non-Unix OSes" and thought "alternative OSes"... Syllable is free/free though.

Judging from the terminal on this screenie, syllable looks pretty unix-like (unless it's a ssh session or somethign similar): http://www.syllable.org/screenshots/...t-2005-4-8.png

Having a BASH terminal doesn't necessarily denote "UNIX-Like". If that were the case, MS Windows running BASH through Cygwin would make MS Windows "UNIX-Like".

The file system for Syllable is based on BeOS, and the GUI is made from a previous project called AtheOS. More information here:

Not because of bash, just thought he was named "root" in the terminal, and he was located in /home/root, /home mostly being used by unix-like systems... Oh wait, root normally lies in /root

Yeah, yeah you get what I meant!

EDIT: Yeah, it said POSIX-compliant, that describes the fs-layout

BTW, has anyone here tried syllable?
