[Oberon] Linux port of Bluebottle

[Felix Friedrich]

Hi Guenter,
I am very happy to hear this! From experience with porting Aos to 
windows, I do know that it can be quite a pain.You seem to have done a 
very good job when the new compiler already runs. Is AosActive already 
fully functional in the Linux version?

I know that quite a lot of people have been waiting quite a time for 
what you are just doing. Thank you for this great news and your work!

All the best,
Felix.
