Keep up the good work it's really looking good.

I hope they go the way of SkyOS and Syllable. The partition tool looks cool.

OS world needs an alternative to X windows.

Driver binaries must be included especially for unsupported computers. A graphic library that can work with XP drivers ! Wow.

Linux kind of sucks because of this. Wed, 26 Apr 2006 07:58:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Eric Martin) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?118290 http://osnews.com/thread?118290 "Needs acceleration or it will die off."

You realize this is a one man hobby project and not an OS that aims to aqcuire market dominance, right? Wed, 26 Apr 2006 09:48:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Soulbender) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?118301 http://osnews.com/thread?118301 I do not think so, at least not at this phase.

X11 would be much faster with smart approach demonstrated in this project (direct rendering to window buffer in memory) rather than trying to acomodate HW acceleration and then fallback in 99% cases into slow software emulation. (See E17...)

500Mhz+ CPUs are enough to drive full screen 2D rendering operations.

OTOH, I agree that XP graphics drivers support in some open OS would be nice Wed, 26 Apr 2006 11:15:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (luzr) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?118504 http://osnews.com/thread?118504 Given the direction this OS is going, he might consider adopting the SNAP drivers.

Maybe with the exposure it gets here on OSnews, somebody will actually write the nice accelerated graphics drivers talked about. I don't think SNAP drivers would be a particularly good idea, though, as they are not free in any sense, either as in beer or as in freedom.
