The BeBox: BeOS Hardware, Photos, and the Apple Deal That Wasn't

「 Dual-CPU was rare in 1995. If you wanted two processors you needed a server-class motherboard and two physical sockets, a configuration most consumers had never seen and most workstation buyers paid through the nose for 」

Episode 17 - Plan 9 and Inferno OS | The Living in the Future Podcast

This episode I interview Charles Forsyth about the Plan 9 and Inferno operating systems that came out of Bell Labs after the success of the Unix operating system. We discuss the features and advantages of Plan 9 and Inferno as well as some of their history. For more information on Plan 9 you can check out 9 Front as well as the papers Charles mentions in our interview. The discussion gets a little technical but I believe it can also be seen as a story about how innovation and technology develop and how change occurs in our technical systems.

We now have a brand-new repository under our new GitHub Organisation! In addition, we also have a shiny new website, made by TheOtterMonarch! Check out the website at https://geckoos.github.io/, and the repo at https://github.com/GeckoOS/GeckoOS!

Big news!

I finally got around to things and started working on Echium more. I've decided to use #Minix 3 as a base and get it working on my system under GCC again. Minix predates any AI stuff and its kernel and userspace are a great place to start from and it also fills the goal of a *BSD-like system as well!

I uploaded the code and my changes to https://codeberg.org/ProjectAnchorage/Echium on #Codeberg and you can go check it out now!
