ReactOS on Bootleg/Knock Off/Generic Computers/Laptops...
Has anyone tested ReactOS on bootleg, knock off, or generic computers or laptops? There are a lot of no name chinese computers from chinese direct to consumer sites (I'm not going to mention any, but search "chinese websites to buy stuff", if you're interested). It would be interesting to see if the hardware or bios would have any issues with ReactOS. Probably would be more of a curiosity than actual testing though.

Are you talking about white box computers?MugenFighter wrote:Has anyone tested ReactOS on bootleg, knock off, or generic computers or laptops?
Does the PC ROS Rigs page in the ReactOS Wiki help? Look for PCs described as generic or listed as motherboards.It would be interesting to see if the hardware or bios would have any issues with ReactOS. Probably would be more of a curiosity than actual testing though.

I have used ReactOS on one of them and everything was ok. Maybe I just got lucky, who knows
In winter you don't need a lot of different events to have fun. You can just play snow balls and make snow man to have a rest with pleasure
Re: ReactOS on Bootleg/Knock Off/Generic Computers/Laptops..
Seems to me your best bet would be to simply use the same hardware as the ReactOS team's reference hardware:
Namely a Dell Latitude D531 with the following specs:
CPU: AMD Turion 64 X2
RAM: 1 GB DDR2
HDD: 80 GB SATA
Motherboard: ATI SB600
Video Card: ATI Radeon X1200
Sound Card: Realtek HD Audio
Ethernet Card: Broadcom 57XX
If you want to use an external keyboard or mouse, you'd need to use PS/2, though, since USB doesn't seem to work on this hardware.

Does an eMachines from 2006 count? Every basic function seems to work though I have not tested the network, as ReactOS does not yet support MTP/PTP.

Re: ReactOS on Bootleg/Knock Off/Generic Computers/Laptops..
If your eMachines PC built in 2006 (1) had factory support for Microsoft Windows XP, (2) you can and do use it with a PS/2 style keyboard and mouse, and (3) has a network interface controller based on the Realtek RTL8139 chip or compatible device then it will probably run ReactOS as well as any PC can.
