"Lindows" Coming Soon?

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday October 24, 2001 @04:16AM from the exactly-what-it-sounds-like dept.

nstbbuff sent in a link to a story running at ZD about Lindows, a recently funded startup founded by MP3.com's old CEO that plans to sell a WINE oriented Linux dist for $99. As usual I'm skeptical about these sorts of things, but provided code is released back, I'm down with it. Meanwhile Transgaming is doing their thing, but with game-specific stuff. Their flagship release is The Sims, but theoretically many DirectX games should run under Windows. I'm still skeptical -- I mean, how many closed WINE forks does the world need?

You can run Win32 apps on OS/2. Just check out Project Odin. Also, VirtualPC for OS/2 will be out in a couple months.
You also might want to consider upgrading to eComStation. It's an updated version of OS/2 Warp 4, with lots of big and little improvements.
