OSBlue writes "A few days ago, news <A HREF="http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=202";>emerged</A> regarding the <A HREF="http://open-beos.sourceforge.net/";>OpenBeOS</A> project, while now there is more information regarding the other effort to 'save' BeOS, <A HREF="http://blueos.free.fr/";>BlueOS</A>. BlueOS uses the Linux kernel 2.4.12 and Xfree as as the base of their OS. For now, they are building a BeOS look-alike <A HREF="http://www.be.com/documentation/be_book/";>Interface Kit</A> and BeOS app_server on top of XFree, so it is not just a simple window manager, but a whole new API and environment. In future versions, the BlueOS team will completely bypass XFree and have a stand alone BeOS compatible app_server which will only use some of the XFree's system calls to be able to use its 2D/3D drivers. Guillaume Mailard, team leader in the BlueOS project gives <A HREF="http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=215";>more information</A> in an interview to <A HREF="http://www.osnews.com/";>OSNews</A>."
