Not to be confused with the other Helios OS - https://github.com/axelmuhr/Helios-NG

Good point. I wrote about that recently:

Very interesting OS that is FOSS now. By v3 it ran on multiple CPU architectures. With some of the manycore CPUs appearing in recent years, this is crying out for a revival.

Yes. It'd be a shame if this effort were to continue to use the same name, especially given they're both operating systems.

Drew?

The name of the complete system is called Ares, and Helios is a small component of that. Essentially, to most people, it's an implementation detail/internal codename that will not really see much use for marketing efforts.

It does not look like the other Helios project is going anywhere, so I'm not too concerned with the naming conflict right now.

Yeah, pretty rude to stomp the name.

"What, this comment doesn't do either of those?". Taken in the context of your other comments in this section, it does.
