| | this OS is very interesting. Most of its code was borrowed from the WINE project and it works seemlessly on the user's computer. xboxrulz |

I dont like it. Looks messy and cluttery. Windows XP is way more sleek and stylish.
It looks like an interesting operating system....Can anybody tell me what the requirements are for it? I have looked around the site and didn't come up with much of anything...
I was wondering if it would run ok on a pentium 75mhz computer, or if i shouldn't even bother wasting my time trying. I just found ReactOS's system requirements QUOTE ReactOS Hardware Requirements Whether installing ReactOS on real hardware or on an emulator, it is important to know the minimum requirements to install and use ReactOS: * 32MB RAM (NOTE: Debug builds may require 72MB of RAM, please use a release build on low memory systems) * IDE harddisk * FAT16/FAT32 boot partition * VGA compatible video card * Standard (PS/2) keyboard * PS/2 compatible mouse or Microsoft Mouse compatible serial mouse Furthermore, if you want to try TCP/IP networking, one of the following ethernet cards may work: * NE2000 clones * cards based on the Realtek8139 chipset Other cards might also work, if you provide the appropriate driver. xboxrulz
Alright, thank you for that.
I may just have to give ReactOS a try on the computer. And yes, it is ancient....that is why I am looking for a lightweight OS that will run nicely on it, and yet have the computer still be useful for something other than just being a glorified typewriter.
Windows software won't run any better on this then they do with Wine on Linux.
