Favorite OS?

Re: Favorite OS?

Fluxbox is awesome but I don't feel like learning how to add an app dock, or some type of bar with shortcuts to applications on it.

You know what the best part of Haiku is? You can get that old feeling you had using BeOS, an OS with no apps.



And that SSS-pc link could be more interesting if it was in a language 99% of the board reads. For instance, this one.
Also what SSS-pc does, or claims to do, has been done since the late 80's in a project that since 2000 has been open source. Written and lead by people that have written one of the worlds most successful and popular OS's Plan 9 from Bell Labs

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSS-PC

SSS-PC is an operating system kernel with powerful scalability and load-balancing capabilities, created in Japan by Takashi MATSUMOTO, a professor at the University of Tokyo. It has superior functions for clustering, parallel processing and targeting server applications. Linux or Unix applications can be ported to SSS-PC directly. The C language BSD library is used. Instead of TCP/IP, an original protocol called Memory Based Communications Facilities (MBCF) was created. It has a unique scheduling strategy called Free Market Mechanism (FMM).

The OS is meant to be inexpensive, high-performing and built to run as a server for telecommunications systems capable of running 24 hours a day, non-stop. When connected to other servers in a cluster, it brings about powerful concurrent or parallel processing, high speed communication and automatic cluster reconstruction abilities: when one server or processing unit fails, it is detected and other members of the cluster automatically compensate for the failure.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_9_from_Bell_Labs

Plan 9 from Bell Labs is a distributed operating system, primarily used as a research vehicle. It was developed as the research successor to Unix by the Computing Sciences Research Center at Bell Labs between the mid-1980s and 2002. Plan 9 is most notable for representing all system interfaces, including those required for networking and the user-interface, through the filesystem rather than specialized interfaces. Plan 9 aims to provide users with a workstation-independent working environment through the use of the 9P protocols. Plan 9 continues to be used and developed in some circles as a research operating system and by hobbyists.

Both may have the same idea, but SSS-PC is better compared with Beowulf than it is with Plan 9, which is a near-dead supported OS (All anyone is doing with this is updating the installation of the OS, not even doing anymore than that)
