In the last few weeks I have been working pretty hard on my project, which eventually is meant to become a FreeBSD based operating system, with all likelihood commercial in nature.
Recently the entire code base has crossed the 5,000 line mark, and it’s all working out nicely.
I can tell you that I have developed features that currently are not to be found in all modern operating systems, like Windows, Mac OS X or desktops on Linux (KDE, GNOME, etc).
I cannot tell you the specifics about it or post screenshots because I want to keep these features a little closer to my vest in the moment.
Rest assured that it is progressing nicely and I am now in the area of implementing file management features.
For now, you can have a look at the placeholder page I have put up at the domain for the project, laststep.eu.
For the technical people out there:
laststep is built upon a FreeBSD 7 core, which then has the GNUstep libraries and frameworks – upon which my code is built on. Some of the features use GNUstep quite extensively, while others built upon my own frameworks (which then in turn use GNUstep).
GNUstep is a cross-platform, object-oriented framework for desktop application development. Based on the Cocoa API (Formerly OpenStep) originally created by NeXT (now Apple), GNUstep enables developers to rapidly build sophisticated software by employing a large library of reusable software components. GNUstep is used in production environments at several organizations.
