Re: ReactOS logo origin
I confess: I totally like the current logo. The atom nicely reflects the "experimental" nature of the OS, as well as the difficulty of a task no less than a personal Manhattan project...

Re: ReactOS NT design
"Better" ... does not even matter. ReactOS is, to date, THE ONLY successful open-source-clone of Windows. You have NO choice besides ReactOS if you want a free and open system. In Unix-land, you have the choice from IllumOS to Minix, from NetBSD to Linux: and they quite different between e...

ReactOS #22 on Distrowatch
You are right after FreeBSD, and before Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Gentoo, Red Hat, Solaris, OpenBSD and a lot of other household names. Yeah, it may not "mean much", but it definitely means you are getting attention...

Re: GreenteaOS ReactOS fork: any thougts about that project?
Being FOSS, ReactOS OBVIOUSLY can be reused by third parties, so that in itself is not an issue. HOWEVER: "This project is done by a broad variety of people. To discuss legal issues contact ReactOS Foundation organization." - This statement sounds as if anybody shall contact _us_ in order ...

Re: 16-bit Windows Program Support
Well... then what you TRULY need is: 1. - "support for the most common Win16-installers" - which can be badly hacked together, because you do not need to support "EVERY" Win16-Program; or: 2. - "support un-archiving". Mostly, those "installers" were nothing bu...

How to pulverize funding
I just read a very interesting article by Andrew Tanenbaum: http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2016/3/198874-lessons-learned-from-30-years-of-minix/fulltext I think that article can be called "how to pulverize funding", because for all I read, he got SIX AND A HALF MILLION USD and did NOT manag...

SSH & Telnet
Hi everybody! Recently, there was a request that I re-test a Windows SSH server. Well, that exact program seemed to be no longer available (on a permanent basis anyway), so I retested with FreeSSHd and Kpym. Neither worked, nor did the Telnet component of FreeSSHd. What happens is basically this: yo...

Re: 16-bit Windows Program Support
Ahemmm... on a related note: does anything of Qemu / Virtualbox / DOSBOX run on ReactOS "well enough"? :) Because if it does, one can also emulate stuff. Personally... I don't care about the 16-bit-stuff. One has to make somewhere a "cut". A "cut" for a more and more ir...

Re: Mascot for ReactOS
What's wrong with their current "Helium atom"? - I mean, it befits the project perfectly - it reminds of nuclear fusion, which would be incredibly useful, but whenever one asks "is it done?" one gets the answer "not yet"...

Re: ReactOS donating how fast can developing of reactos be?
Well, you can: - neither measure "speed" of development - and while there may be resistance from the developers, the most obvious "speed" measure is the "release count", as most people assume "decent" release cycles; - nor can you directly translate "spee...

Remote Shell - Working with Netcat!
Hi everybody, Congratulations to the team for the new release. (I recommend to re-check whether everything in the "Application Manager" works, as for me on VirtualBox at least, Python 3 and both Operas definitely did NOT work, and I really had a TOUGH time getting ANYTHING from an FTP-serv...

Re: Why?
IMHO, it would have been better to release the new website along with 0.4.0. From a user perspective, I went here, and I thought, "WOW. They DID IT!" - And then... 0.3.17.

Re: An idea of me
I said this to accerelate our development. Now the issue is, you really have to demonstrate the translation of "money" into - and here's the rub: - "tangible" results. I, too, recommend 0.4.0 before asking for further money. (ReactOS' position is admittedly not an easy one: &quo...

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE FreeDOS, too, but what I am saying is, I hope ReactOS does not end up like... alright... Minix!
