Please note Wine runs Win16 runtime build on 32 bit linuxs by using a 32 bit complier. Ie the emulated libs would be calling fake internals writen in 32 bit. Basicly look at how dosemu does things and Wine. Note dosemu runs a real dos inside a control system. So any complier you can get you hand on ...

F-full ownership O-ability to change ownership R-read (list) X-execute (run or open) D-delete W-append and modify Linux has most of these on all major filesystem or able to be created. extentend Attrs. Linux filesystem have a lot longer attribs 3 layers of read write execute for user group and every...

Number one NTFS Driver's are not required reasons. If the driver system is good enought it will be able to load windows NTFS driver and use it. So no point developing anything more than a read only NTFS driver because people need read write will be able to use the real driver due to having a licence...

This was the first name of dos ie QDOS Bill Gates renamed it to sell it to Disk Operating System. Most History buffs of Os just don't except the OS rename and just drop the Q.

Package Manger provides a controlled way of doing updates without breaking the system.

Note user does not need to see the difference. Reactos Update reports what parts.(Packages to update)

Update manager merged with browser is just a really bad idea. Provided website with way to much access.

Xen is alot different. Plex86 runs inside linux improves boch performace. Xen is its own kernel. It does the system swaping between the os's. It required the system drivers that are compad. Note Reactos running inside Xen would let users switch between reactos and a linux with min peformance damage ...

gcc 3.4.2 is verry strict on types and other missmatches in g++. A common problem I have had building the explorer section. Note microsoft complier and gcc 3.3.3 are less strict. Just like some C code will not build on current gcc because it was not updated. This is normally missing ; that were not ...

Save you some coding.

Note extend mozilla link up with webadmin a nice improvement for linux as well as reactos.

Note mozilla provides most of the missing functions.

Perl, Python and bash. Need more power hmm ruby REXX. Theres are all floating around for windows. Dos is dead except it. Time to move on. http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/dosbatch.html All that is really missing from BASH is a goto function and a label tag but bash has functions. Simple fix just pac...

Unix is always compatible with Linux. I will drop a hammer here. Unix is not always compatible with linux. Sun and FreeBSD build a compad section to let linux binarys work. And linux has compad sections to let Unix stuff work. Internals is where everything goes pair shaped ie /dev and /proc director...

Linux is the best os that is free that runs windows programs at moment. The reasons. If programs don't work inside the Wine emulator sometimes the update to CrossOver Office or WineX fix the problem but this costs. And if that still does not fix it linux programs are around that do most tasks. React...

Mingw moving into pre version before next version with gcc 3.4.2 last time tried building this with gcc 3.4.2 it did not build. Problem most is with the C++ stuff gcc 3.4 is strict on C++ standards and types wrong type will not build. Note you are not alown with gcc 3.4 nuking code and forcing updat...

Linux's Tux was chosen because Linus liked penguins Smile There are several articles on the history of Tux in the net, just google. Nop Tux was selected because this cute little bird dared to take a bite out of Linus happened here in Australia yep even made the news. This is a good think to remembe...

http://www.freepascal.org Hmm most likely rebuild with this will do the job. Note there has to be 16 bit sections of code someone wants a project. 21 meg download is the problem for me. Also there are some overlaps that will have to be removed due to never versions having the new code that the proje...

X11 server is provided without requiring any out side libs ie cygwin. Unix software has a subsystem ie most is all ready emulated ie the psx section. So programs on linux/unix most likely can be build without need for emulation section. Of course programs interfacing with drivers will still need wor...
