It was antecedently known as AltOS.) It was at first designed as an AmigaOS clone, but that objective was afterwards abandoned. These are there is no hanker within development, & has been superseded by Syllable.
History
It was created completely by the Norwegian programmer, Kurt Skauen, from 1994 to the early 2000s; AtheOS was announced to the world within March 2000 on Usenet. Although it wwhen licensed as open source software, Skauen did not assume contributions of code from either a general public when virtually all general-all-purpose OS projects wash. He ceased development of it & a task is usually considered dead. However a loose handiness of a source code under the GPL allowed other developers to launch Syllable, a fork from either a stagnant AtheOS code base, by using on-going development.

Skauen ported KHTML to AtheOS in order to produce a ABrowse web browser.
A AtheOS home page at http://www.atheos.cx utilized to dog on the AtheOS port of the Apache web server. Supplementary recently a domainside has been utilized by an unrelated business to choose benefit of the many links to the places to boost its placement in research engine outcomes.
