Does anybody even know what AtheOS is? >From the Web page (www.atheos.cx, which appears to be down at the moment - ask Google for a cached copy): # AtheOS is a free desktop operating system under the GPL # license. AtheOS currently run on Intel, AMD and other compatible # processors and support the Intel Multi Processor architecture. I # have seen quite a few anouncements of "promising" OSes with "great # potential" during the development of AtheOS. The problem is that # when I follow the links I normally find a description of the # concept, a floppy-bootloader written in assembly, and not much # else. AtheOS is a bit more mature, and is already running quite a # lot of software. This server for example is running AtheOS. The HTTP # server is a AtheOS port of Apache, and most of the content is # generated by the AtheOS port of PHP3 and perl.The native AtheOS file # system is 64-bit and journaled. The rationale for the patch as given by its author is that AtheOS apparently comes with a Python 1.5.2 binary, and that he wanted to see whether he could update it to the current Python. I'm copying Octavian Cerna to see whether he can come up with a good reason why his patch should be included into Python - I was suggesting to include because I saw no reason to reject it.
