Re: KnowOS (Was: What would a modern LispOS look like?)

That was then; this is now. The KnowOS/BioBike runs on standard Linux
platforms- I paid for our main server on my credit card, and it didn't
even hurt!

Jeff, I was actually referring to the claim that there was no C-compiler for Lisp Machines.

I did take a look on the KnowOS-link that you provided in an other answer in this thread. What I don't get straight in my mind: Is KnowOS an operating system in the sense that it drives (and abstracts) my hardware, or is it more like a middle-ware that provides a common basis for applications but can be run in a number of operating systems, or is it an abstract concept that describes the idea behind BioBike?
