Linus Torvalds has said recently that Linux won't be ready for the desktop for 5 to 10 years. If ROS can fill that gap, I'm not going to complain. And if all goes well, ROS has a lot to offer, including the potential for good application and driver support, standard printing APIs, and a standard GUI. I think the attraction of ROS is different from that of Linux. People who want to have a custom OS (choice of desktop, etc.) will be perfectly happy with linux. - Karl On Jan 26, 2004, at 2:12 PM, Björn Fischer wrote: > Mark IJbema wrote: > >> On Mon, Jan 26, 2004 at 09:25:05PM +0200, Ciobanu Alexander wrote: >> >>> I was just wondering, don't you guys think ReactOS is a treat to >>> GNU/Linux ? >>> For ex. when ROS becomes stable enough i will surely pass to ROS >>> instead of Linux (that i use now).

I am going to do a crusing of SourceForge, looking for freely obtainable win32 applications for testing now, and will provide screenshots of the more successful ones. What kinds of applications would the WineConf people feel 'awed' over? I might expand my testing base to include windows shareware also- As far as I know, I dont have any commercial applications that currently can run on ReactOS, so this is the best I can do. Would love some feedback on what you would find useful... Larry Snyder __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.

Re: [ros-general] Interest in ReactOS

by Jason Filby

Excellent work with optimizing those parameters! And it's really great to see all the interest. As the project grows it will only increase.

A little walkthrough on how to use VMware 4 images in BOCHS and Linux.

by Wierd Wierd

I created this to show that VMware can create and use 'Raw' disk images, and Vizzini said I should post it here for everybody. He seemed most enthused about being able to mount the disk image under linux... Anyway, here we go: http://lunacyinc.dyndns.org:88/VMware-Bochs/VMware_Bochs.HTML (beware linewrapping) Please enjoy, and note that this is specific to VMware 4, since I dont have previous versions to test with. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

FW: [ros-general] SCO lobbying congress about Linux, GPL and Open Source

by Ian McLean

Sorry James. Meant to reply to list, not to you directly. Dumb Outlook (or as I call it .. Outhouse). Rgs Ian. -----Original Message----- From: Ian McLean [mailto:ianmm@optusnet.com.au] Sent: Sunday, 25 January 2004 11:46 am To: 'James Tabor' Subject: RE: [ros-general] SCO lobbying congress about Linux, GPL and Open Source Pretty pathetic isn't it ? It seems that if SCO cannot fight on the merits of it's software, and they are losing ground quickly in the fight against IBM, they have to resort to this pathetic level of desparateness. They have not been able to prove anything in court, yet. I just worry about ignorant congressmen whom don't know the real story giving SCO more ear than they deserve. God help their customers !

[ros-general] SCO lobbying congress about Linux, GPL and Open Source

by Ian McLean

Hi everyone, I have read something interesting on another list (PIC List), and seeing as it is also topical to ROS, I thought I would pass this link on for everyone here. I expect this will generate a lot of comment ... http://www.osaia.org/letters/sco_hill.pdf PS: Reactos is looking great. Fantastic work everyone :-) Rgs Ian

Translations

by Jason Filby

Hi all Here are my thoughts about all the recent discussion on translations. First, it's probably best to have a minimum of two people per language so that there's some kind of validation of what's being written. Second, I don't think we should go down this road without a translation coordinator - there's just too much work that needs to be coordinated. If anyone is serious about taking on such a role, feel free to contact me. Cheers Jason __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
