I just wanted to motivate him , but you are right, this is a side project.

I kind of try to program a little every day, but sometimes I just don't feel like it or don't have time. So, it is going to take some time for sure.

[Sewbacca]

Its okay, it is your os.

That some higher level of irony? Who are thou mocking? Me or him?

The reply thingy would suggest it's me, but we do share the same opinion, which leads me to believe it's him.

Development of OmniOS has restarted. I have reorganized the entire directory system so that it looks more like *nix systems.

The task will be long, but the results will be worth it:

• better security
  
• more filesystems
  
• whole disk encryption
  
• ipc
  
• everything is a file
  
• a lot of stuff
  
• mainly *nix related features

PS: I accept the consequences of being bullied by DemHydraz over anything related to *nix systems.

Started the rewrite a couple of days ago, and this is what I've done:

• TLCO
  
• Boot sequence
  
• Lib loading
  
• Driver loading
  
• fs overwrite
  
• started the process manager

Nice.

Thanks.

One feature I did not mention was that there would be a new shell. It supports piping, which is nice. The kernel is almost ready. I need to finish the different functions that allow user space and kernel space to interact with it.

Basically, I'm doing my best to make OmniOS a *nix like operating system, because their concept simply works and is awesome. I'll also be adding Pixel to the packet, as I believe a nice GUI is a must.

Just a quick resume of what was posted:

• The shell uses pipes. These pipes do not use buffering, but behave like real pipes. Basically threads with overwritten input and output functions.
  
• The current version of OmniOS is not yet available for download, since there is a very annoying bug in the rewritten version.
  
• Yes, there was a complete rewrite of the boot and kernel code of OmniOS
  
• OmniOS now aims to be more *nix like, since they know what they are doing and I like their concept.

Hey guys, I'm kind of back, and I'll try to work on OmniOS again.

Maybe a complete rewrite, I'm not sure yet.

Dayum what's up with these unix ideas lately..

And it Looks like my browser likes to make english words uppercase, hell yeah.

[Creator]

It's just that *nix works. And it makes more sense, at least to me.

[LDDestroier]

Well if you're going to continue working on OmniOS, first things first - change that color palate. White on green is an eyesore...in fact, green backgrounds never look good. The color wheel is your friend.

[Sewbacca]

You are online =)

The GUI is definitely one the weaker parts of OmniOS.

Currently working on pipes. Perfecting them.
