  1. The Linux kernel is used be the BeOS community by Jungle+guy · · Score: 4, Informative
    There is another project that is trying to build an open source BeOS-like operating system, that uses the Linux kernel. It is called BlueEyedOS, and their website is here.

    Discussions on Slashdot are good, but sometimes sterile. Do you think the Linux kernel would be a better kernel for OpenBeOS? Cool! Go help the BlueEyedOS guys. Of course, that would involve a lot of donated work to a software that may never see the day of light, but, if you enjoy coding, go for that.
