You mentioned OpenGenera; is this an open-source version or something?
Er, no.
AFAICT - and I am not an expert at all - Genera ran on Lisp Machine
hardware and OpenGenera ran on top of Unix - specifically, on top of
DEC Tru64, but now this version can also be run on 64-bit Linux.
My (rudimentary) web-search skillz end up at pages
that give the
impression the "Open" part is a misnomer,
Kinda, yes. It certainly doesn't mean what it normally tends to.
so I don't know whether
they're giving me an incorrect impression or whether someone mislabeled
a non-open product as open (presumably in an attempt to - fradulently,
I would tend to say, if so - ride the "Open" bandwagon).
If there really is an open Lisp Machine OS, I think I'd just _have_ to
build a Lisp Machine emulator....
As close as it has got:
