[ros-general] Reaction project announcement.

[David Zaragoza]

Hello

I'm pleased to announce the release of Reaction: an aptitude like 
application written specifically for ReactOS, developed in python. The 
project homepage is http://code.google.com/p/reaction/

The project have two goals: to provide a repository of free software 
applications that are known to work decently, i.e doesn't crash, with 
the latest release of ReactOS; And to provide an automated way to 
install a set of applications that make a desktop system, eg. Web 
browser, email client, media player, etc. on ReactOS, something like the 
GNU/Linux distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva and others.

Software freedom is really important to me, that's why Reaction is 
completely free software and the application repository will only have 
free software applications.

There is an installer available at 
http://reaction.googlecode.com/files/reaction.exe If you have some free 
time please check it out, and report any bugs you find to 
http://code.google.com/p/reaction/issues/list

Please remember this is the first release of reaction and it will have 
bugs for sure, so please be patient.

I'll write some documentation this weekend, but if you are familiar with 
aptitude, I'm pretty sure there will be no problem figuring reaction out.

I hope you find it useful.

Regards.
David Zaragoza

ps. Try 'reaction install reactos-desktop' for a bundle of nice desktop 
applications. There are only three applications at the moment, but it 
will grow.
