  • a good idea would be, i suppose, to use linux apps on linux and ms apps on windows
  • True, but you can't stop ppl from trying to get them to do what they weren't designed for :wink:

    -Q
  • But all the better apps are for Windows. Oh noo111111!!~! MS SpywAzes! O!~!

    That's when WINE was invented.
  • i know

    i'm trying (failing) to make my own OS.
    it is currently very crap and has about 3 commands to use (im a total noob to assembly language and i can't work out how to link C/C++ to nasm).

    anyway, i cant imagine how hard it must have been to make an OS like linux or windows, let alone making them compatible with each other, so i don't really have much room to complain.
  • HeH, you should talk to Babb and Roger, they know ASM and have been where you are now.

    -Q
  • cool i'll probably do that.
  • Ive *NEVER* got WINE to work at ALL. Id rather just use Windoze and not need to worry about emulators and crap.
  • I've got my eye on something else for now (Well, really just the future).

    Actually, Linux started out as a hobby, and it was only the kernel, bash, and gcc...
  • HaH! Yea! I think WinWorld has a link to Kernel 0.99!

  • yeh it does

    i've never got wine to work, either, and my computer multi-boots with suse linux, winXP and DOS/win3.1, so i can run most programs. my point is i don't want to keep rebooting and rebooting so i can run different apps, and i dont really like emulators as they always seem to crash or are too complicated (for me).

    another fallen into the trap of making their os. you eventually get frustrated and just give up. I'm going to point you to the topic called KOS in other os's. Its time to bring her alive again (maybe).
  • Hopefully you make it good.

    You can either a project that leads to something like BSD.

    Or.....Linux
  • Gnome or KDE... that depends on what machine you're using.
    For all under 1000MHZ Gnome is fine.
  • i preffer AfterStep :)
  • Is there AfterStep for Linux?
  • whats afterstep?
  • Some shell for Linux. Theres tons of these. They don't really do much. It's like 10% of the funitonality of KDE or GNOME.
  • AfterStep is a shell for Windows, but not for Linux. As far as I know...
  • AfterStep is for Linux, LiteStep is for Windows. Both emulate the NeXT interface.
  • I use xfce. it works fine with me since all i use is the shell and firefox for linux (or bsd in some cases) when im in it.
  • When I had 16Mb on P233, I used to work in command prompt... cuz GNOME was loading for 15 minutes, not talking about KDE.
  • If I had 16Mb on anything I'd be using a CLI (Unless maybe NT 3.x)

    yes
    it is a popular WM which could be used with any UNIX-like system running any X11 server

    it is a powerfull WM with themes suppot but it markedly differs from KDE or Gnome because it is having an old-style GUI pointing method wellknow for Mac (before Aqua) users and users of old UNIX WMs but never used in MS-Windows

    Look at it!

    first it was only for UNIX (X11)
    even if today it could be used with win32 ;)
  • Thanks very much, eugrus, I am getting it...
    Amaningly its not so large (4Megs)
  • Heres the reason why I like GNOME. Uses less resources, easier to config your hardware (as in sound and video). It has tons of neat tools like a CD-Burning program. It also feels more like windows. If your Linux savy then try out WindowMaker. It's a clone of the NeXTStep GUI.
  • i like KDE for all the reasons you like GNOME, except the one about it looking like windows (i'm not too keen on windows myself)
