I need people to help me create a browser driven opensource Operating system that will be linux based ie I am currently working on the linux kernel as I write this note. I have all of my componants such as file management, drivers, cdrom startup, and the browser base for the kernel. This would take me too long to do myself even though I have all of the componants (I think);P but I will need help tying it all together.
I have written to the people whose programs I have used to ask for their copyright permission but if you have any ideas and/or suggestions about what should be included or if you think that I might have overlooked something please get in touch with me as I would see this as a great opportunity to get feedback and/ or support for my Operating system. If you want to help then just email me and I would be happy to send you everything that i have.
I know you'll probably think I'm copping out but I think that as everything needs to use other programs to support it and theres so many out there that have more experience than me then why not use them.
I will soon have a webpage up and running where you can go to find out about the project but just now please email me.

Hi, I've got a copy of Windows 2000 Advanced Server, and want to install it on a server here for use as a mailserver, but I have a question. Does Win2kAS include decent mailserver software? If not, what do you recommend (not too expensive, please  )? Thanks in advance

I'm sure that Win2KAS ships with a basic SMTP server, but that doesn't help much. You might try IMail - if you have 10 users or fewer it's free, otherwise it's quite reasonable. The server is primarily a web-based system, but POP3 retrieval is supported. Both the webhosting service and the college where I teach use it, and it seems to be quite stable.

Is there any other utility similar to 'vmware' that allows me to run many OS simultaneously in a PC.
I got more results in a search engine... but wanted to know if anyone uses a utility... that may help me to get some information/help from them.

yes, there are quite a lot of them.... bochs is one for example!
Don't try it, just do it!

Will give it a try... it seems like they are giving it as a open source...
A question before I try that... can I run... win XP, Win 2000 Server in it?? If so... what will be the total RAM I would require for a 'good' preformance???

It will work, but if you have a chance to upgrade to 512+ it will be worth it

That needs 256mb RAM all to itself. I'd upgrade. I've got 640mb RAM and performance under VMWare (ok, I haven't tried others) is only just acceptable.

Hi,
My friend tried to indtall Commercec server 2000, in his PC. The PC s/ configuration is.. Win 2000 Server with NTFS partition... IE 6 (It has VS .NET instaled it.. that gave me IE 6).
The problem was, he says, he got a message saying that it needs IE 5 or higher version when the PC already has IE 6 in it.
Any solution.... other than downgrading the IE 6???

It's unbelievable that MS is still doing this! I ran into it when I installed Visual Studio 97 - it refused to install unless I had IE3.2 on the machine when I had already upgraded to IE4x. The only way around it was to let VS destroy my IE installation by continuing with it's outdated install, then to reinstall the IE4 upgrade. That was a major PITA because I was still on dialup, and the download took several days to complete!
One possibility I can suggest, though it did me no good then, is to search the CD and read every README file on it - there's probably dozens. One of them may have a workaround for this problem. I hope so...

As I said, this experience was with Visual Studio, not Commerce Server. But yes, the upgrade back to the current version of IE went smoothly. It was just a royal PITA that would have been totally unnecessary if MS had expended the tiniest bit of effort. I'm surprised to learn that they still don't; as bad as they are at making installations work smoothly, they do have an excellent history of fixing mistakes. This one should not have fallen through the cracks.

Its not only MS that does this, game makers are really bad at this. For example, I have many DX8 games that get really pissed when the installed DX version is greater than 8

It occurs to me that it only took a few years to perfect plug-and-play hardware that uses a standardized method of identifying itself to the OS. Why is it still so hard to make software play nice? Is it that difficult to create a built in identification code with a formatting standard that makes it easy to detect that a more advanced (and presumably compatible) version has already been intalled? This doesn't sound like a rocket science problem, especially as it doesn't require consulting with every manufacturer in the world to create the standard. If your software identified itself with a value from day one, at a consistent location in the binary code, or a consistent entry in the registry, with something like [productcode].[majorrelease].[minorrelease].[revisioncode] wouldn't it be easy to detect a more advanced version and let the install continue? Why is this so hard to do?

I don't know, especially for COM objects like DX that are by fully backwards compatible, it would seem that it would just as easy to check >= than just ==

It didnt for me.... it still asks for a IE 5.5 or greater version of IE - while the PC has IE 6.0 in it....

Is this after you installed Commerce Server and after you then upgraded again to IE6?
"Your village called -

Yes it does ask so...
Actually the steps performed were,
uninstall my IE 6 and installed IE 5.5
install Commerce Server 2000 (I dont have a answer for 'why not 2002 version??')
Then ugraded to IE 6 (the PC needs IE 6 for the VS.NET requirement)
And created a site using commerce server 2000
Tried to run the bizdesk
It asks for IE 5.5 or later version - when the BIZ desk starts uncompressing the .CAB file (thru the activeX component)
---
Still confused about it...

Me, too! This is a major MS fubar. Having no experience with Commerce Server I'm afraid that I can't help you. But it is nice to know that, if anyone ever asks me to install Commerce Server, I'll be smart enough to tell them to find someone else to do it. I wish I could be more helpful, but this is sounding like another total screwup from Microsoft like Small Business Server 4.5 - I could never make that load of garbage work right despite 4 years' trying, and their tech support is a complete fiction; there is no such thing. I'd advise you to walk away from it, but I know that that's no longer an option for you. I hope someone smarter than I am will pick up this thread and show you a solution - I can't.
