    Problem is, there appears to be no Ximian support for MY operating system


    Perhaps you didn't look hard enough? I mean the answer is as clear as the nose on my face Yeah you need to compile it right now, but its still beta, give it a couple months.
  3. Re:Why not an open source distro for Windows? by GeneOff · · Score: 2 · on Using Windows w/ 100% Open-Source Software?
    I think this idea has some merit and is actually quite feasable. In addition to Cygwin, I'd add the packages mentioned in the post as well as some alternative GUI stuff ported to Win32. The basic problem with this is the state of free software X servers for Windows is poor at the moment. Other projects are based on recreating the POSIX primatives: Gnome Desktop on Windows. This has been discussed at /. before

    Apparently, it needs a free-for non-commercial use unix library and an X server, so no real joy yet. Since the Gimp uses a non-X layer for Windows, it must be somehow possible to port other GDK based stuff to Windows.
