i made a pretty good SBC cursor a while ago that ide be willing to contribute if i can find it.

What features would people want packaged with this?

That might be a good start

I was under the impression Adobe was eventually releasing CS3 for Linux.

Haha Unreal.. look at the history of companies. Everytime someone "announces" linux support it gets thrown down by internal beta tests.. The main reason is because the good ol'linux OS is the easiest OS that you can crack a program with.

Programs don't have a registery, and you can deny server allowance to communicate.. ntm Trials can never expire on Linux OS's because of the Clock Exploit : The kernal Clock isnt the clock it goes off like Linux, the built in Clock and psudeo clock for programs can be offset, and any program is modifiable on when it was created on the partition..meaning, you can have as long as you want.

It takes someone about 15 minutes to pirate (download install crack) Flash CS3 already. I doubt people would switch operating systems just to make it 3.

I think you misunderstood my post. I was simply stating, thats why companies refrain from releasing a Linux port of programs.

Not only that but there are thousands of distros of linux, all unique to eachother. Imagine the support needed for that..

ps make it run from a cd because I like windows.

That's dumb.

I cant really give this the time it would take to make any real help. Pity because its an awesome idea and one I'll use once its completed.

Have you tried the new adobe installer that runs through flash? If I'm not mistaken it works on any platform that has the recent version of Adobe Air installed, which is free on the Adobe Labs site.

If I had time I would jump on this... I've made a trimmed down version of XP specifically for working in flash... Everything unessential was cut out making it around 200 megabytes, not including flash. Unfortunately it wouldn't be legal to distribute that...

Yeah I did that once. I found a good program to help set me up with something like that. But this would be legal (as long as everyone buys their copy of flash like a good boy) so I'm up for it.

guys, this is kind of a cool idea to build an operating system, and i bet it's a fun experience for all you programmers/graphical designers

but i really don't know why anyone would use it, it's not like it's going to be better than windows which is what i use right now. Clock Crew skins aren't gonna do it for me guys!

i support this and offer my artistic skill if there's anything i can do to help

That's debatable.

Ubuntu is certainly superior to Vista, the first operating system in years to be widely considered a troubleshooting endpoint. It puts up a good fight against XP as well.

While it's true that some video games don't work on WINE yet, most of those games only run on clunky old Vista's 64 bit incarnation. Ubuntu has a smaller footprint, better support, more flexibility, and often superior hardware compatibility to XP. Unless you're a really hardcore gamer you probably aren't going to run into any problems. There are also several things Linux can do that Windows machines won't. Linux also makes virus scanners pointless. There are viruses for Linux, but you actually have to run them yourself and they won't start again when you reboot your machine. As to the learning curve, Ubuntu's GUI is designed specifically to be easily accessed and understood by Windows and Mac users. Also it's free.

Personally, I don't run Ubuntu exclusively. My main machine runs XP and I have Ubuntu running quite smoothly on an older machine sitting next to it, a crossover cable connecting them. By using Synergy I 'm able to use one mouse and keyboard to control both machines. It's like having dual monitors but the second monitor doesn't tax my machine nearly as heavily (all it has to track is the mouse). Even if you don't have two machines, a dualboot of XP and Ubuntu might be a good idea. Sometimes you'll want a smoother experience and sometimes you'll want to use a program that WINE doesn't know how to use perfectly yet.

Anyway, there are many reasons to use Linux, Ubuntu in particular. An Ubuntu with features, logos, and menus designed specifically for the Clock Crew would be awesome and I'll do whatever I can to help.

This seems like a great idea, but how would we deal with distribution? It's not like we could sell it in stores. The market is just too small for that. I guess it could be downloadable, but how would that work? At any rate, I would like  to at least try it. It's too bad that I only have one computer.

it seems quite goo,d go ahead man, yet can it be run by a cd or something as to not interrupt windows

Easy. The iso installer will be hosted like it is on the Ubuntu site. You can order/request a cd, with ordering costing money and delivering the cd faster, or requesting which is free but slower, and then there is the option to download the iso from the server. The money from ordering would go towards the ClockCrew site(s)

Linux, Vista, and Mac are all good for different things.

Vista is the best OS for gaming and is good for business, Mac is the best OS for Media related things and casual non-gaming use, and Linux is very flexible and can be made pretty good for most things, but not better than mac for media or vista for gaming. You should preach the good points and uses for all the operating systems instead of always going "Fuck Vista, anything but Vista!"
