ReactOS won the 2nd Award in: "The Best project".
VIRTUALBOX REACTOS SOFTWARE
There are ReactOS versions as React-IT, and i am not asking to include these Distros, just the Main OS.Ībout advertisement: ReactOS doesnt need an extra advertisement.Of course an extra-advertisement coming from a GPL proyect,as Vbox, is a nice way of helping other GPL projects,but in the same way ReactOS promotes GPL projects including GPL software in its "Downloader!" as Scummvm,7zip,DosBox ,VLC,Samba,and 40 more GPL apps.Īnyway, ReactOS is a well known project as the results of Sourceforge Community Choice Awards 09 has shown: Pandora box is opened since under Linux OS appears a list of Distros.This is a worse Pandora Box, since there are zillions of Linux Distros, and i didnt see anyone complaining about adding a selection of them, which can lead other Distros asking to be included in that list(as you suggests).Īlso, ReactOS is not a Distro, but a Main OS (as Linux is). In the end the OS selection would totally get out of hands and everyone suffers. There are hundreds of operating systems out there which would ask for the same. Exactly that argument makes me extremely wary. Ale圎agar brought it to the point: it'd be an advertisement for ReactOS.
I knew from the beginning that this is a lobby ticket. Virtualbox is already an awesome piece of software, recognizing ReactOS would make it even better to me. It won't be the end of the world for me if you don't add it, but it would be a bit more convenient if I didn't have to do guesswork every time I redo my ReactOS virtual machine. I'm not going to accuse the Virtualbox team of pandering to Microsoft, but I do think that considering that ReactOS is at least as relevant as TurboLinux or QNX. It's even mentioned on the ReactOS website as a suggested environment now. I've been using Virtualbox to test ReactOS for years now.
VIRTUALBOX REACTOS PC
QEMU was kind of slow, Virtual PC crashed (unsurprisingly), and I'm too poor to afford VMWare. Ultimately, though, one of the main reasons I started using VirtualBox is because it was the best solution to running ReactOS in a virtual environment. I use it for various versions of Windows, FreeDOS, Linux, and even Haiku. I've been using VirtualBox since it was being developed by Innotek, so I guess you could say I'm a bit of a fan by now.
This is true for all the operating systems you list in VirtualBox, why bothering then ? Just because it makes installation a bit easier for the simple user. It mostly selects the icon and a bunch of defaults >(memory size, disk size etc.) which you can adjust yourself as well. From my point of view, there won't be a need to ask for this sooner or later, as it will become natural to see it there among the other choices.Īfter all, VirtualBox (unlike other virtualizers) attaches extremely little >meaning to the OS selection. That's not necessarily true, so are you advertising IBM OS/2 ? VirtualBox obviously decides what to include there, it's up to you the choice. It's just a request to make new ReactOS users testing easier in VirtualBox.Īle圎agar brought it to the point: it'd be an advertisement for ReactOS.
