For the Vista Naysayers

Now, normally, I'd post this in the Linux section, but due to the nature of it emulating Vista, I think some Windows users may want to check this out.

I will try the live cd. And i have try that knoppix live CD thing it's fun.....

Downloading now...

P.S is it like knoppix nothing is save to the harddisk, and you boot from the CD ?

 

Right. Its a LiveCD, unless you install it.

 

Okay thinks....

 

I just try it and it does not work...

I have burn the image to a 700 megs CD.

Boot from CD...
copying image to ram...

Then the cd come out then in, then i have a black screen and nothing happen waited for 15 minutes.....

Try again burning the image on another cd the same thing again.....

Need some help i guess...

 

I'm guessing I'll need a Vista capable computer to run this? Also, does Vixta run exactly like Vista or is there still the Linux stuff that you still need to do in the Terminal?

 

Its GNU/Linux. But with a Vista like interface. No OS can run exactly like Windows except Windows itself. If you need something that runs just like Vista, run Vista!

You probably dont need a Vista capable computer, but a blue light special from 6 years ago will probably choke to death on it.

 

Enable overburning when you burn it. Verify the data to make sure it didnt corrupt.

 

For the people truly interested in this, please post troubles to the Linux forum. I was just trying to get some Wndows users to see whats available to them by posting here.

 

I concur. This may not run in VPC, even with hardware VT, due to the emulated S3 card

 

Well, try it as a LiveCD, at the very least

 

Enable overburning when you burn it. Verify the data to make sure it didnt corrupt.

I have done that still NO go. black screen

Maybe bad download what is the MD5 for the file ?

 

My MD5 of the file is it okay ?

Pretty sure I said to post issues with it in the nix forum, CK.

 

I know this is an old thread but just running this off the CD. Looks real good at first blush!
A friend said that this is 10X better than Vista but I think he's had too much caffeine. I'm not sure at this point yet!. Seems to work nicely but still needs some polishing. Heck, it's only 0.96 now. I think I'll install this tomorrow if I can. Too bad that it doesn't recognize my screen properly. Ya right Adryn, compile one.LOL Oops, not the *nix forum. Sorry guys.

Anyways, I like the desktop better than Vista, (Really stupid reason eh)? http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/9116/snapshot1vl3.th.png

 

BTW, I had to burn this at way slower than 48X, slowest that Nero would give me was 8X but obviously that worked, I made two coasters before that at 48X! BTW, notice the smirking polar bear?
