Ok pulled down the SVN tree. ISP is playing around with connection today so it took some time after some resets.
Anyways... I have a few issues and suspicions but will try to dig for myself first before bothering you guys. But the first thing I'd like to bring up for discussion... The name SharpOS. I think that as a name itself its ok. But I think there are some issues with it. 1) Is this OS really tied to C#? Or IMO its more .NET. So SharpOS is a misnomer. NETOS, or ILOS would be more appropriate. Granted I don't like either one, but I have presented them as an example. CLROS is best of my initial ideas. But point is moot because of point #2. 2) I don't think it makes sense to name an OS based on what it is written in. Should Windows be COS? Linux CPPOS (granted its kernel is C, not C++), etc... I think its better to name it after its goals, or something the OS identifies with or does. DOS was clear - managing disks. Windows is clear. Linux is clear (Linus Unix). As far as what to name it - well I have some ideas what I would name it, but it depends if you guys have clear goals besides just making a .NET/IL/CLR based system. Aside from running on managed code - what are your goals? Im not trying to rock the boat here, but I think its worth discussion. -- Chad Z.
