RevLin OS will use a new desktop environment called RaVe that is coded almost entirely in web language (Css html5 and Javascript ) with native back ends, all running locally inside a Webkit based run time environment. However we are on the fence with the kernel. Initially we wanted to base the kernel ( named PopCorn) on Linux due to its support for various desktop hardware and platforms, but now we feel that going with FreeBSD or maybe even Haiku would be a better plan. I was wondering if any BSD developers would be willing to come aboard and work on the kernel with us? More information about the OS can be found over at my blog http://p-quinn.com/entries/report/report-what-is-revlin-os-and-what-are-its-benefits . If you have any other more technical questions feel free to ask. I Hope to hear back from you soon All the best Patrick Quinn
