    Ce n'est pourtant que le nom du projet, comme on peut lire sur la page «

    The design goals of HOT DOG Linux include:

    • Graphical user interface based on retro computer systems including Windows 3.1 Hot Dog Stand, Amiga Workbench, Atari ST GEM, and Mac Classic and Aqua
    • Custom lightweight Objective-C foundation
    • Bitmapped graphics, low DPI displays
    • No Unicode support by design

    HOT DOG Linux uses a custom lightweight Objective-C foundation on top of the GCC Objective-C runtime. The style of Objective-C is completely different from the one Apple uses, everything is basically id.

    By design, Unicode is not supported.

    Low DPI displays are preferred, since the graphics are bitmapped and fixed in size. The preferred aspect ratio for HOT DOG Linux is 5:4 in landscape, and 3:4 in portrait.

    HOT DOG Linux does not use Automatic Reference Counting. It causes problems with type-checking during compilation (it is too strict).

    HOT DOG Linux is an acronym that stands for Horrible Obsolete Typeface and Dreadful Onscreen Graphics for Linux.

    » voilà, H.O.T and D.O.G Linux
