holy crap!

look at this! i'm going to try it out!

here's some apps for it, although i don't know how i would use a bootloader written in assembly language (that might sort out my lilo problems though). i suppose that's another thing i should learn about...

It's nice to know that development on advanced alternative OS's is on-going, particularly GPL'ed OS's.  This is a real nice looking system that will bear watching; thanks for the info & link!!

looks like i won't be trying it out after all though, since i'm selling all my kit to buy a desktop machine...
shame.

[Master of Reality]

selling your kit?
if your getting a desktop machine, doesnt it just need a floppy drive to be abel to run menuetOS... is there something i am missing?

Can I recommend AntheOS? It's really "hip!"

MoR, yes, i'll be able to try it out but what with both myself and my girlfriend starting studying in february, she's very dubious about me playing around in any way with the computer. she wants me to just put something on there that works and leave it alone!

fair comment i know, which is why we got the pentium 75 laptop, but i am sick of laptops and their idiosyncracies. until we get a second machine though, i think experimenting is going to be a bit off limits  

we're probably getting a machine with a 60GB hard drive, and i'm going to be limited to one copy of linux with mozilla and openoffice!  

i bet even putting freebsd on a separate partition will be out of bounds!

umm, in need of x86 parts???
let me guess, you don't a room full of computer parts laying around like i do/*also has a futon, surround sound, game consoles, 19" tv, kick ass speakers, but were not discussing my room now are we?*/ go find dead computers, and buy them cheaply. like ask friends about anciet stuff, like that compaq that isn't cool like my new giga bajillion hertz dell is becuase its from 1995 or something like that

well, we're kind of short on space, and we do not plan to settle in london, so buying one desktop is a bit of a hassle spacewise, having two, plus a lot of arts around might just make it a lot worse! once i'm settled more then i might think about the bits.

hehe, you would be suprised how much you can fit in a single room, and still be able to live in it/*then agian, you have a girlfriend, so you probably keep things cleaner then normal*/

.NET is better because it supports "Webservices" and has the ".NET Connecter" to make sure you are ".NET Connected".

Download it today www.windotnet.tk

umm, great spaming of decent forum X11, we allready know about ".net"
now back on track
menuetOS, what else does it support, i looks to be a nice embedded operating system to me. i wonder what the min specs are
