“Athena is Rocklyte Systems next generation, object based
operating system for the consumer market. It is currently being
produced and tested on the Linux kernel before programming starts
for a variety of other systems and consumer devices.
A preview
release of Athena for Intel-based Linux machines is currently
available, and the full version will appear during mid-2001.”

“Features include: public source code, a rewritable GUI, 100%
component based/plug-in architecture, extensive portability, DML
scripting and object based networking.”

“You’ve probably gone ahead and looked at the screenshots
already. Now that you’ve seen the eye candy, why not read about
what makes Athena tick on the inside.”
