Can somebody explain in a few words what TempleOS is?

• chippy 12y ago
  It's an operating system. http://www.templeos.org/ http://www.templeos.org/ I run it in an VM.
• vlunkr 12y ago
  I second this.

  It is an operating system and associated infrastructure (editor, compiler, etc) written by one man who believes he is doing the word of god.

    Must. Not. Make. RMS reference.

      RMS never actually made HERD. Terry actually has an OS.

        HURD is functional, it's just not really used by anything or anybody, so it's missing a lot of features. It's also to some degree rotting, last I checked it still was limited to i386. But HURD distros do exist in variants like Debian HURD, albeit maintained by skeleton crews. Point I am getting at is that it was made, it just was poorly timed. By the time it was semi-working, Linux was already entrenched. HURD couldn't collect momentum to really find a bigger niche.

          HURD is pretty actively maintained, I don't think it's rotting. Microkernel research just keeps outpacing their ability to implement so they've switched base kernels like 4 times now.

          I've not actually tried it, but I think the Debian HURD port got new wind a while back -- there are some references on the Debian/kfreebsd mailinglist that seem to indicate that some people are actually working on stuff on the HURD side (the former is a project to bring Debian "userland"/distro to the HURD kernel, the latter is the same for running Debian with a freebsd kernel (as opposed to a linux or solaris (see [ed:Nexenta, not Illumous as that is more of an Ubuntu/Solaris-thing] etc) one). https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/ https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/

      > Must. Not. Make. RMS reference. Yeah because that wouldn't really make sense, considering RMS stated to be an atheist.
      • cygx 12y ago
        It does make sense. RMS himself has had his fun with this: https://stallman.org/saintignucius.jpg https://stallman.org/saintignucius.jpg https://stallman.org/saint.html https://stallman.org/saint.html

        To be an atheist doesn't mean you don't also consider yourself "god"...
