I would be happy to test it on my WCG farm to get a couple different results. Just PM me if you want me in. They run on mostly XSOS 2 now or linux all but my 64XP for BF2 :D

Lol. I cracked up when I saw your sig NN...
Ply
nn is everything alright?
Don't need details on post if it's related to nvnews...
Please report bad posts, I want the site kept clean.
I would like to test this too!

I'd like to sign up as a beta tester. ;)
nn_step, some question about the OS
will is be as easy to install as windows and current linux distros?
installing games and apps, will be as easy as in windows?
will it be heavy to the system? memory usage and disk space?
will it be virus protected or will be as easy to catch a virus like windows?
the drivers used will be windows-based or linux-based?
Thanks in advance!
from what I believe,
-the install will be like installing windows xp. blue screen after you boot, you know the drill
-games/etc, im not sure, but i bet it wont be very hard to work with
-heavy to system? NOT AT ALL! less than 100mb memory used at startup (50-70mb, somewhere in between there I BELIEVE)
-virus protected? install antivirus just like you need to do with windows
-drivers? I believe will be windows-based (thank god, <3 the compatibility)
Sign me up for a beta test key, I'm game to install it on one of my many computers.
I just got a couple of raptor 74GBs so I'd like to take part NN just promise you'll be gentle those drives are virginal.
How will it handle raid a la press F8 to install third party drivers type sh*t.
Also paypal address for donations?
nn, i would like to beta test. Have an empty hdd sitting right here. This is less than 700MB right? (fits on one cd)
i hope its not like linux 800x600 max res lol
I'm mainly a lurker 'round these parts, but I just couldn't hold my questions in on this thrilling development! A streamlined OS for benchmarking, yet extend-able for other tasks such as gaming? I've been dreaming about this for years! I always fantasized my computer/OS having a gearshift: first starting just the basic services, then the GUI, the third "gear" initializing start up tasks... Then shifting to the side to connect to the network, then again to the Internet... Seems like this sort of idealistic functionality might be in this flexible OS, as the screenshots have betrayed. Anyway, the questions:
First, what are you going to do about graphics drivers? Are we to take it that ATI and nVidia have been involved at some level? After all, modern video drivers are enormous and complex beasts...
Second, Aero or something like it would be nice; I just want the ability to free up just a few more CPU cycles to an otherwise wasted GPU, the look itself doesn't matter. After all, that should help marginally in benching, right?
And third... is it too late for me to sign up for the beta? :P
nn doesn't take donations... and afaik if it's based on Vista you won't need RAID drivers to install.Quote:

chocolate pi: again, i think the driver dl's will be the drivers compatible w/windows. not sure though.
if the OS base is linux kernel i supose that drivers was not compatible with windows..Quote:

How many times does nn have to say that this is not a Linux or Windows kernel and that it is not based off of Vista?
sorry but i'm confused.. who's the base of Xsos after all?
This sounds very nice, i would very much like to betatest this. I have a laptop and a pc with a spare partition waiting for this puppy, would also like to see how it performs, compared to my stripped (nlite) xp install. Also i have enough time to scour for and document bugs.
Keep up the good work :D
(p.s., i just joined, but have been lurking here for quite a while)
sorry if i missed it, but how will you let the ppl know that are in the beta....is it safe to unsuscribe from this thread, to many mails about it just for "i'm in"
Count me in
Been reading up on this new operating system and would like to beta test if possible. I'm pretty well versed in linux/BSD/windows and also know some programming.
