SkyOS: XMB For the PC


I was bumming around on Google when I stumbled upon this little beauty...It's a Linux OS written to look like the PS3 XMB. I haven't gotten to install it yet but you do have to buy an activation key to use it.

I'm going to buy it and see how well it is. I'll probably have to contact the owner to do that though. It looks amazing plus it's Linux.

No, no, and no. SkyOS is an operating system written from scratch. It isn’t based on any other operating system.

it's not Linux, lol.

but it looks cool nonetheless.

RE: SkyOS: XMB For the PC
if its an original os, it can probably be installed on any computer, regardless of the current os, youll just have the option to boot from this instead of xp when you turn your computer on

RE: SkyOS: XMB For the PC
TAR is just a file format.  Has little meaning to the underlying OS.

Most *nix OSes come with a TAR utility though, so hardly surprising.
