LindowsOS ~ My First Impression


Recommended Posts

Well a new version of LindowsOS was leaked to IRC today, so being the beta happy tester that I am, I quickly downloaded my copy and got that bad boy on a CD. I plugged in my spunky 4GB test HDD, popped in my shiny new LindowsOS CD, and rebooted.

Test Machine:

Well, read my sig :)

I was pleasently greated by this nice boot screen:

About 5 minutes later, yes, you read that correctly, 5 minutes later, it started to load to my HDD. After about 2 minutes of loading, it shined this screen at me:

P1010003.JPG

Now I thought this was odd, considering it didn't really load all that much to my HDD, but being the optimist that I am, I gladly took out the CD and complied with a reboot. Upon rebooting, this is the screen I was welcomed with:

P1010004.JPG

Well, I know the typing is small down there at the bottom, but that is the good old "BOOT DISK FAILURE, PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER." Ugh.

Well being the do0b that I am, I did this. Inserted that damn LindowsOS CD, and went to town all over again, and you know what happend? The exact same thing. WooHoo.

On a side note:

Version: LindowsOS 0.90 Sneak Preview rc31

Build Info:

And it appears that you have to be running Windows2000 or ME in order to 'Experience a Sneak Preview,' so clean installs appear to be out of the question. Again, WooHoo.

i've seen it too but didn't get it cuz i didn't want to go thru the headache of formatting my system if it caused problems and all that since i'm running XP anyways... I would rather see SS of the GUI so take those instead! :)

so any images of the GUI?

I guess you guys have an inability to read, or perhaps I didn't make it as crystal clear as it appears I would have to in order for you guys to understand. At any rate, my post clearly says that I had no luck installing the damn thing...so that would mean that it would be impossible for me to get screenies of the GUI. Duh

Don't be so sure of yourself there,ISONEWS is perfectly legal, they only mention whats been leaked and the forums over there lock any discussion of where to find releases just like here.Also they take out serials from NFO's when posting....FYI,there forums are just like here rules-wise and most posts refer to gaming/other stuff.

    • But it opens the floodgates to anyone who gets a refund instead of a replacement (since refund will buy you a 1/3rd of the capacity it did years ago)
    • He has planned to file a lawsuit in small claims court so it'll only be a $1000 lesson assuming he wins. That's likely a fraction of what Samsung spends on toilet paper on a daily basis.
    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.
    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
