Anyone ever play with EyeOS or AstraNOS?

Bit of a rant... lol The first one seems to "sort of" still be active, 
the later a dead project. One of the recent tricks added to Second Life, 
in the 2.0 client is support for "media on prim", this means HTML5, and 
anything else that doesn't require plugins (flash being one of the more 
annoyingly common, buggy, defective, memory leaky, and used for video 
everyplace one..). I have already tested and EyeOS, the non-flash bits, 
work with it. But.. My "host" for me web page is Yahoo, and they 
apparently haven't got the message that PHP5 is faster, and has useful 
features, and are still running 4.3.something... Can't install "either" 
of the EyeOS ones, and Astra seems to use a lot of Javascript to do its 
stuff, instead of PHP, instead.

Frustrates the hell out of me. :( We have like 7 factions in the main RP 
city, plus probably 3-4 **per** sim outside, including police 
departments, for a total of close to 20 sims. That is like close to 90 
different groups, all of which *might* have legitimate reasons to have 
web pages, computer logins, databases, etc. And I can't even "test" the 
damn virtual OS on the only server I have I can install it on, never 
mind modify it to take the key for the object loading the page, and show 
the login for the right faction...

Ah well.. Probably going to be months before the feature gets 
"official", and finds its way into third party clients, so even if I 
could redo them to work the way I would like, which includes a way to 
"hack into" the contents (non-desctructively), for faction conflicts, I 
have plenty of time to read the PHP/SQL and CSS books I just got, and 
try to build one of my own. Man is that going to be a pain in the ass... lol
