I have just migrated from Windows to Linux, and I am very curious about ReactOS. I have a couple of newbie questions I was hoping I could get answered. (I have already checked the developer and user FAQs on the ReactOS website.)

 

[1] Is ReactOS built on a Unix core, or is it a new operating sytem from the ground up?

 

[2] Can you dual boot with ReactOS and a Linux operating system like Debian? If you can, is there a place where I can find instructions on  how to do so?

 

[3] Does an application that runs on Microsoft Windows have to be ported before it can be run on ReactOS? Can I try installing the program to see how it works?

 

Thanks,
