PC offered with ReactOS preinstalled?

[Ge van Geldorp]

My Spanish is not that great, but I get the impression that they're offering
PCs with ReactOS preinstalled here:
http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx/MLM-10172918--_JM Can anyone confirm
that? Not that I mind, I'm just curious.

If they've gotten antivirus working on ReactOS 0.2.8, that's impressive ;)

I translated with WordLingo and got:
"The ReactOS® project is focused to put free software to disposition of 
all, providing a graphical and compatible operating system with 
Microsoft Windows® XP."

Apologies, but forget my previous message.

I translated another part and got "Operating system Win Graphic ReactOS 
Open Office 1.1.4 and antivirus"

I think they do offer it.

Yes, but on the other hand I'm not that impressed since it's an 
eBay-like site.

Wouldn't it be wild to actually have a stable enough version to power  
a desktop pc? ReactOS isn't near stable enough to support such a  
system. Some customers are going to be very disappointed if they  
decide to buy this...

Typically this kinda thing is done to provide an excuse for selling PCs 
with no Windows OS so that a pirated version of Windows can be 
installed, however its usually done with Linux...

OpenOffice 1.1.4 and Nero Burning Rom, as an alternative to winxp and 
1300 pesos (102 €) more

It's not from spain or at least I wasn't informed that they moved Spain 
into Mexico now... I guess I should watch the news more often.

Err, forget me, I should learn to read first. :-)

This is looking like a Quick-Buck Site.

Setup for Office 2003 may well fork ar first, but when a customer
tries to get any further than that, they'll be in for a bit of a shock
;)

Yes, they sell it (i'm from Spain too).
It seems to be a company that builds computers and its selling them by the 
net (probably also in a shop).
They are selling it with ReactOS to have better prices (they sell it with 
WinXP for 1.300 pesos more)
It's strange they say in the article that the monitor is not included but in 
the questions they talk that it is included.
They also say that it is sold configured and working, with manuals and 
drivers. How do they got it work? I see difficult to make ROS 0.2.8 work 
with the 6 channel Realtek for HomeTheater, for example. Not to talk about 
the AGP 8x, when the user will try to install a graphic target the drivers 
will probably fail.
He says he has included ROS info but i can't found it.

BTW: Magnus i don't think you really need to request 2-3 more days for 
changelog, since you received Ged email a week before it was sent (quoted 22 
Dec mail with date 15 Dec). Please, teach us how to do these things as well 
(or you could prefer checking your system datetime ;-) ).

Hi
It is no real problem getting 3d part driver working in reactos
if you know how config the regi.
Here is example of drv I working and config up

Graphic
1. Cirrus logic (in qemu)
2. Nvidia
3. vmware
4. S3
5. Reactos own drv for vga
6. Reactos own drv for vbe

Sound Driver
Soundblaster 16

This both in qemu, vmware and on real hardware
sb16 drv are bit hard to getting it working right.

I have not try the network drv so much I can say
it work well or not.
