Are you sure you want to do this? What about all the dll's? I think it advisable to set down goals and functioanl specs before embarking on such an adventure. I also think that you should look at all the opportunities including L4-Linux from Dresden. l3-hackers@os.inf.tu-dresden.de
I also have a mature, fault-tolerant operating system, originally written for IBM mainframe, which is quite portable. Hadn't planned on porting it to alpha, but it is a possibility, particularly since later alphas understand Big Endian.

Yeah - this is what I was looking for, not OpenNT . . . Now can we port this to Alpha please? Preferably by the end of the year ;)

I know its off the wall, but there is at least one project thats currently working towards an NT compatible system. Currently its only x86 unfortuantly, but its open source, so anyone could start work on a
different
processor.
