for those of you who want to use linux or something but can't because of various apps that aren't supported (for me it's psycle, a music programme) - the next best thing is a shell replcaement (http://tongue.gif) - ive got a blackbox clone on my puter, and it looks great (http://tongue.gif) (good speed aswell, though my puter runs win98 pretty fast anyway.. so i dont know if i'd notice the difference)
-
i was thinking of that too, any ideas on whats good anyone?
I want something thats very purdy :cool:
-
So... ehm... what's the actual question?
-
at least let's see some screenshots!
btw, this belongs in the windows forums, since this isn't about a "non-mainstream OS", but instead is about Windows
-
I think I know what you're talking about. I'm a "making-Windows-useable" expert.
The most stable Windows I can think of is Windows 95 OSR2 (or 2000, but that has IE integrated) with Litestep ( http://www.litestep.com/ (http://www.litestep.com/) ).
It looks NeXT-like, and it's highly configurable.

I don't like Windows or OS X cause of the many apps that aren't supported.

yeah, i tried to install 95 on my puter, but it didnt like my big (40gig) hd. :( - it wouldnt load properly - only in safe mode...
with ie uninstalled from 98se, it's also very stable (http://smile.gif)

there you go. - you can use heaps of different 'styles' - it's really great to work with...
for some reason, it doesn't want to show the image, so i just put the url up...
yeah, what was i thinking posting this in the 'not quite mainstream os's" forum.... oh well

You may want to consider hosting the screenshot elsewhere... Geocities really hates having their bandwidth stolen. I recommend http://www.photobucket.com (http://www.photobucket.com)

It's very difficult you know. Once you thought you tweaked it right, Windows screws up again.
* Sigh * Why did I even try? GNU/Linux is better anyway.
-
yeah, that's true (about linux being better), but like i said in my 1st post, there's this one app..... *sigh*

Could you repeat in clear understandable English what exactly you're asking?
I'm not that good at English you see...
-
he means "there's this one app" that's mission critical to him.
my suggestion:
TEH DUAL BOOTE WITH TEH LUNIX AEND TEH WNIDOWSE!!!!!11111LOLOLOLOLOL
you can run Linux when you want to, and then flip back over to Windows (flip over the proverbial barrier like you were some kinda ninja, that is!) to run that app.
while you're in Linux, you can install Wine (which is not an acrconym for ANYTHING AT ALL) and try to get that windows app running!

If you mean Psycle, it's GPL and people are already building a Linux client.(be patient)
Also try GLAME, it's not very different.(Tries to become The Gimp equivalent for sound)

Can it export to protected AAC or WMA the way Pro Tools can?
-
Im confused. I see a little about linux, or windows, or something, but I have no idea what the subject is. How about I move to Linux forum.

I require examples.
until you provide me with compelling evidence of any arguments, I'm going to continue in my belief that you're an asshat
