The XaniX Trinity.

Hey every, I probably haven't explained this to you guys yet but there is somewhat of a confusion amongst people with he whole XaniX/ OpenXaniX / Xenion Os thing. Well, I figured I'd take this time to do some explaining.

It all started back in the day.
I figured one day (after being very frustrated with Linux and decided that I would make a operating system that was as simple as Mac OSX but free and open source and start a community, and thus the openXaniX project began way back 2 years ago.

Well, soon after this, someone introduced me to a guy named Dawid Manczak, then everything changed.

I told him this Idea and he say, for every dollar you put in you should get two dollars out. Well, I said that was stupid and just blew it off. Though the more I though about it the more I realized it was true. What was the point of making an operating system and get nothing back from it. Then dave and I were joking around about making a game system, then I became serious about wanting to be know. Thats when The 'open' was dropped and the project became XaniX.

Anyway, how it works is like this. OpenXaniX may live again since people are interested in hacking the Xenion and therefore openXaniX Would be the best way for them. and Xenion OS is just XaniX with the Xenion MCE software installed.

So there you have it folks.
TTYL,
Michael
