Maybe we could get a list started of all known OS's ported to the DC?
Or maybe a website http://www.dcos.com ? :P
But so far to start with i know of linux/netbsd/newos hopefully there are more out there and more coming.

It wouldn't be practical, other than doing some interesting things the OS ports are little more than a novelty.

Whats NewOS?

the new OS web site can be found here

http://newos.sourceforge.net/

currently i think the newos stuff is being implimented into openbeos so i dont know how much attention is being payed to DC.

well maybe it wouldnt be very practical but it may help people out more. maybe better howtos,faqs,etc. then maybe more people would take an interest.

uh... I don't see how an OS for DC would make anything any easier... considering at the moment all you have to do to run something is put the CD in your DC and turn it on....

well with the developments coming along with os being ported to dc there are things some people will want help with and this could also start getting people more interested and hopefully better things will come of it.
