Simply GNUstep Delivers UNIX, Simply

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday January 10, 2002 @06:09AM from the stuff-to-play-with dept.

Eugenia writes "A new, Linux-based operating system released recently, called Simply GNUstep and it is based on the GNUstep architecture, originally built by NeXT (OpenSTEP) and is now also used by MacOSX (Cocoa). The alpha version of the x86-based OS is available for download and boots off the 110 MB bootable CD. The cool thing about Simply GNUstep is its partial source compatibility with MacOSX programs (further compatibility is still worked on) and its clean infrastructure, as it only includes GnuSTEP graphical applications like WindowMaker, Mail.app etc. You can read an introduction article of the OS at OSNews."

What does RMS call it? by David+Ishee · 2002-01-10 07:01 · Score: 4, Funny

If this is a Linux based system, will RMS flame us is we don't call it GNU/Linux/GNUStep?

You forgot:

GoATSTEPx: a wide-open public-domain environment supporting hot-plugging of peripherals soon to be cleaned up and released by Microsoft. (It's easy to tell where the first patch will be applied!)
