History
|
AtheOS was started by the Norwegian programmer Kurt Skauen, in the early 90's, and was almost entirely written from scratch by him. The first public release of AtheOS, version 0.1.2, was released in 1997 and quickly gained a large number of fans and interested users and developers. After the release of AtheOS 0.3.7 development slowed to a complete stop as Kurt became interested in learning to fly his plane. The original AtheOS website was atheos.cx, but it is no longer hosting the real website.

Syllable was forked by a small group of developers who had been involved with the AtheOS community for some time. The first release of Syllable, version 0.4.0, was released in July 2002. Since then, more than 20 releases have been made.

In 2007 there was a communication breakdown, and ditto for the decision making process. This led to increasing dissatisfaction among some of the core-group members, and developers. In 2008, multiple relatively minor issues culminated, and resulted in half the core-group leaving, followed by a few developers. The rest, as they say, is history. We would like to leave it at that, and not engage in discussions about the finer points of the past. Our first public release, version 0.7.0, was released March 10th, 2012.
