This looks a lot like AmigaOS

[/Wegge]

Given the immediately accessible amount of API documentation available, to me it looks like this OS has captured the same spirit that AmigaOS was built upon: A lightweight microkernel, with device drivers as a separate entity.

I'll be very tempted to make the switch from Linux just to be reminded of the good old days of the Amiga.

Re:AtheOS takes a Windows approach

The AtheOS home page says

"The GUI is server/client like X11 but communicate through the native messaging system and the protocol is private to the server and client library and entirely hidden from the applications."

So it may not be hard to do remote display.
