It was written from scratch as a hobby OS based on POSIX. Archlinux was based on Linux from scratch and took some inspiration from crux to keep things simple (I was one of the first volunteers that helped with arch).

Good point about AtheOS. Confusingly, the successor project Syllable did release a linux distribution in "Syllable Server".

Thanks for that, as well as all the other contributors - I've been using Arch for about 1 year now and I'm so much happier than I have been with anything else.
