New features include accelerated 3D, the Voyager 2 browser which supports HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.1 now, SCTP (stream control transmission protocol) and packet filtering with NAT! GCC 3.3.1 is also included. If it's not a typo, the Professional version costs $8695/user o_O Usual QNX NC (non-commercial = free beer) LiveCD is not available on the download area yet (As of 9 Jun)... But it sounds very promising"

    So we have yet another Linux clone, this time giving away for free, but making companies pay stupid amounts to support them (why would companies pay this?). So why not use an existing Linux distribution that is truly free, or another long-running Linux clone like *BSD?

    Creating a new OS is just asking for a whole load of new security and stability issues, when Linux has all but wiped them out.
