That's not so good. This is supposed to be a collaborating team.

That's not very relevant in the context of the massive X11-system.
IMO N-O performance via a FrameBuffer was a great achievment.
Doesn't N-O provide enough info to do this for linux kernels?
Also Peter Matthias' FrameButtered LNO version is good.
I'm confused about d/l-ing the *.tgz for this project:
repeatedly the *.Mod files are mentioned. I've got all of these
since I've been using ETHO since the 90s. And the wiki doesn't yet
mention this 'olx' project. As with alo: the non *.Mod files which
<connect the ETHO to linux> are very small/few.
https://drive.google.com/ seems another one of these <bait & switch:
as the americans call it>. Eg. d/l-ng Wolfram/Mathematica for rPi
consumed my whole month's inet quota, and every line of the <tutorial>
needs 2 accesses to their server. They want to suck your brain out,
like the peddlars of luckystrike and PeterStyvesant.
Will the theoretical foundations of the commonality of using:
X86, ARM, ppc ; linux be published. Or is this another secret project
being beta-tested?
