The project emblem for MILOTIX.

MILOTIX is a Unix-like operating system designed for scalable network-oriented computing purposes complementary to A* on Anodyne. The name is an acronym which stands for Massively Internetworked Large Order Textual Information Computing System, with the CS replaced with X in the style of "UNIX".

Motivations

As is done with many other systems under the Xion–Aquefir–Anodyne umbrella, architectural design changes are a huge point of appeal which would necessitate at least a hard fork from existing projects such as Linux. Additionally, Linux in particular poses undesirable structural downsides as the source of a hard fork, particularly due to its intent to leverage GCPL in kernel modules, which comprise the lifeblood of the kernel. It is undecided whether MILOTIX will be a new project entirely or a hard fork of some other Unix-like system such as a BSD. Additionally, the GPL licencing requirements of Linux may not prove workable in light of the potential business interests of XAA.
