kiwipeso's Journal: KaosBSD FAQ

What is KAOS?
KAOS is a new operating system based on OpenBSD, it is all of OpenBSD and a new exokernel based system which runs the core system on a ramdisk.

Why?
The goals of KAOS are speed and security, by using an exokernel and a ramdisk, the harddrive is used less and gives you a lot faster use of the machine.
The security is a very sophisticated crypto system I designed to be very difficult to break and is illegal to program in the USA, UK, Russia, France & China.
So you are getting the best crypto inside the OS, not the stuff that echelon has already broken.

How is this useful?
Let's say you want to swap MP3 files but you don't want to be arrested for violating the DMCA act of the USA.
You use an Agile Network program like Samizdat (like gnutella or freenet) to hide what you're trading from the network censors.
Samizdat is built into KaosBSD and maybe released as Java later, the main point is you have freespeech on the internet as it has an IM part.

When is this happening?
Kaos is in development, it should have a working version later this year.
Because it's designed in Java2, key applications will be ready this year as demonstrations of KAOS tools.
