It is not true.

Does reactos support PAE?

Does reactos support PAE?

No

Alejandro Jeditobe

But it can still work

Mike

Really? Good news so, this would expand the potential support 👍 thanks for pointing this out 😊

Chungy

heh UDF... the compatibility story gets worse since neither Linux nor Windows can write to newer-revision file systems, which means you have to scale back to something like UDF 1.0 just so both of them can write to teh same volume, and lose out some of the benefits in the process :/

Chungy

I've tended to use exFAT everywhere (yes, it works on Linux) :p

Chungy

likewise, contrary to the article, Windows 98/Me/XP is perfect capable of writing to UDF. Just need to make sure that file system revision is good for it

Seems cool, but I'll just keep on using NTFS

Chungy

NTFS has problems related to the fact it has ACLs ... I can't tell you the number of times I've seen people struggle getting their files because their USB happened to be formated with NTFS, all coming down to whatever computer they were sitting at not having the permissions to read the files

Chungy

FAT32, exFAT, UDF lack permissions entirely.

ACL = access control?

Chungy

yes

Quinten

It always worked for me but sure

Chungy

It could work if you're especially careful about what the metadata looks like

Quinten

I never pay attention and it still works fine actually

Chungy

or if you happen to just log in as the same user (via AD, for example) everywhere you plug the drive in

Quinten

I plug it in into Linux systems most of the time

Chungy

heh... ok. ntfs-3g by default ignores the ACLs

Quinten

lol

Quinten

Windows usually works fine too

Kirn

I have a folder "WIN31" which can be mounted as a C: in Dosbox with working Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and patches (IE5.5, Win32s, TCPIP32, etc.)

Chungy

heh yeah... Windows 3.x has been usable in DOSBox for a bit, but it still crashes sometimes

Chungy

especially if you do Win32S programs ini t

Chungy

I've segfaulted dosbox by running win32 freecell under Windows 3.11 lol

Chungy

but it doesn't happen consistently

Batnam

This is where I wonder what the point of ReactOS is?

Batnam

Why shouldn't we just use windows?

Batnam

I get it is a project you are working on, but why ReactOS over windows?

Kow

Free?

Batnam

Free?

You can get windows cracked

Batnam

Easily

Kow

But not if you have a enterprise.

Kow

You have open source too

Batnam

But not if you have a enterprise.

I can't see an enterprise using ReactOS

Alisson

goodbye SVN, are his last hours

Batnam

No matter how much we want ReactOS to succeed

Batnam

goodbye SVN, are his last hours

?

Alisson

Git is the best

Chungy

You can get windows cracked

cracked Windows isn't legal and still isn't free in all the senses ReactOS is.

Kow

Reactos is based in which Version of nt?

Chungy

http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

Kow

I mean, what version was reversed?

Chungy

Reactos is based in which Version of nt?

It's not based on Windows, it's a reimplementation. The kernel ABI is currently targetting NT 5.2, userspace hypothetically should support applications through NT 10.0 (but it's very incomplete for the post-5.2 ABIs)

Chungy

NT 5.2 was Windows Server 2003 (Vista was 6.0, 7 was 6.1, 8 was 6.2, 8.1 was 6.3. 10 is 10.0)

Alisson

waiting the last commit

Alisson

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2017 During that day (European time) SVN will be turned read-only forever and some of our services may expect temporary downtime. Let's see who will get the last commit ever to SVN :)
