Can you enlighten us more what prospero really is? If it is an operating system, it should be running on it's own. If it's a filesystem, then you should check filesystem support when configuring a linux kernel.

Prospero (protocol), a directory protocol utilized by archie servers and clients in later years.

Is it one of those? -- please reply.
BTW, neither one has a valid Wikipedia article, yet.

Dude! answer his Q & mine -- we can't answer you until you tell us what you are/want to talk about. Links would help.
