As long as the hard drive is big enough it could be a music or movie server

Nicholas

And can you right click on the taskbar button for the window to do that stuff

Nicholas

Can, or use the exit button from the 3-dash menu

Nicholas

Hehe

Nicholas

Just wondering why the buttons are missing

Nicholas

Other apps seems to be ok

Hello all! I hope I won't interrupt you at all. I only want track the development of the OS. :)

Bambi

I though it is sort of a channel to announce any further updates. Well, I was mistsken.

Don't worry Be free to ask anything and tell about your experience of using the OS

Actually, there is an unofficial channel It is in russian, but links are to English sources of news https://telegram.me/reactos_unofficial

Well, I just got to know about this OS, and honestly, a while ago I actually did not know much about the OS itself; I had been thinking it's another Linux distro.

..until in the depths of Internet I read that this project involves Open-Source Windows-NT environment OS. I had to discover a little more, I'd not be myself I did not. ;)

Will it run Crisys then?.. I'm apologize if common IT-memes-jokes here are prohibited here. ;; I believe this chat is for development purposes only, although I couldn't resist this time.

David

no this isn't for development purposes

David

that's what the #reactos-dev IRC channel is for

David

this is just a chat about reactos and reactos-related things

David

and it's not even the primary one — just a convenience for people who want to chat outside of IRC ;P

Bambi

this is just a chat about reactos and reactos-related things

Even not directly related, but generally PC related things?

Anonymous

Related to react on pc

David

well you can occasionally ask something that's not directly related with reactos

David

but if it was common then it wouoldn'te be a "reactos chat", it would be "pc thigns and reactos sometimes maybe"

David

;P

Bambi

For an instance, if someone while testing ReactOS on a virtual machine got kernel panic on his machine, could he ask for help related to occured issue with his mainly used OS?

David

yo ucould ask

David

but chances are someone would tell you to ask in the virtual machine forums

David

;P

Actually, it should run Crysis. I am not joking. But the GPU drivers are very basic for now so don't expect much performance.

Jyrki

also, the real question should be "how do I patch KDE2 for ReactOS?"

Bambi

I would happily see that happening of the millennium. Anyway, I just threw away ReactOS ISO after unsuccessful drivers installation in Virtual Box session due to it is kinda useless to me running a OS without Internet connection. Despite of being in this group, I didn't realize I could have asked for a solution as far as running the OS is concerned.

Well, since there's a KDE for Windows, they might work without patches

VBox works, VBox' drivers works, iso on website is outdated
