We've flashed out our ideas bit by bit, and finally made Kamix 2.x! Now, you don't have to be forced to use a certain VFS (which was a long-deprecated Volumes extension version in Kamix 1.x), or even be forced to use a certain shell. Kamix 2.x leaves it up to you to build your new distro.

The Move to Binaries

Now, Kamix 2.x isn't service-based like Kamix 1.x is. The main changes in 2.x are that the kernel has shifted to binaries, as opposed to a full service/daemon structure (that's for you to decide). In fact, the init process (the thing that 2.x starts after it's done initializing) is a broadcast and not a service.

The Black Box Factor

Since an init process is now required to boot Kamix 2.x, the kernel is pretty much a black box apart from the new kernel panic panel, which you'll be met with when you boot Kamix raw (with no added or set init process). So, you'll need to BYOIP (Bring Your Own Init Process). However, we're working on a fallback shell for Kamix... keep in tune!
