I've known about it for quite some time but it looks like they're
finally getting to something usable. There was also a project to
create a BeOS like system on top of the regular linux kernel to take
advantage of the larger driver base but while practical, I never liked
that idea because BeOS was always about a micro kernel not a
monolithic kernel.
