I think they've changed their name to Interix or something like that. I'm sure they were tired of the Ninja-Attack-Lawyers going after them for putting "NT" in their company name. I ran OpenNT for about one day. It is the only piece of software I've ever run under NT that can so thoroughly wedge a system. It feels really wrong to slap a *POSIX-Adapter* on top of the dubious NT *kernel* and think of it as UNIX. I think the ROSS sparcplug aproach is the best. On an unrelated note, I see a mention that the new Linux kernel may feature support for a graphical console. (aka without X) I'd love to see a *BSD based OS with a tightly bound graphical interface, that doesn't carry the *X* baggage. If it doesn't happen, has anyone out there taken a good look into "Be"? I'm hoping its not just a matter of a disgruntled ex-Apple employee taking the MAC braindamage into the streets.
