CherryOS I have to admit sucks as a program. It crashes when its trying to created Drive images, saying 'warning, this program may hang for 5 to 10 minutes while the disk is formatted' .... yeah, great programming there. 15 minutes later and my hard drive stops spinning about 4 minutes ago? Still no program responce. *blam* End Task'ed.

Next, it claims in the features that it supports sound, unlike PearPC. Check the hard to find release notes. 'There are currently issues with sound on most configurations'. ... See, 'we haven't finished coding it yet, but give us money anyway for something to emulate a PC to run an operating system that's primary use is multimedia.

PearPC at least admitted its foilbles, with the help of various frontends was easy to configure and didn't crash all the bloody time before the O/S had even started either!

holy CRAD!!!....DID YOU READ THE FRONT PAGE?!?!?......From the "creator" of Cherry OS. He said, that Cherry OS is based on a complet different code and archtecture and that is why they can achieve such stability and "speed".

MY A$$....there was no stability and speed and it was an almost 100% copy of PearPC....this guy is ****ing me off and who ever pays for this deserve to be slapped...

Yes its slow, yes it's unbearable, yes it's not a mac. But it's a view into the mac os world, wich I really need as an administrator and as a nerd. You can't excuse that they've taken the code from ppc, and expect to payed for it. I'm an open source fan, actively in the EU. But it has one advantage to ppc, ICS, which means that you don't have to hassle with your nic, or buy a new one.

I had a realtec nic rtl8139, but it didn't seem to work out with ppc, so my solution was cherryOS, with ICS.

But to newbees, open source fans, I would highly recommend PPc control panel

It works very good with ppc Pear ppc

Its much easier this way.

Slow old computer xp1600, 512, 2100, i know

I've enjoyed this thread, since it made me smarter, thanks to all of you.

Actually if you want PearPC on par with CherryOS in the ICS networking department get openVPN beta 2.0 from sourceforge http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/openvpn...ta2-install.exe

It works like CherryOS's extra NIC that gets installed. Instructions on how to use openVPN beta 2.0 with PearPC are found on http://dev.realistanew.com/win32net/

Wicked, I've searched of course, but didn't find that. Thanks.

I could really care less if it is a rip of PearPC. If its better and it works, then why does it matter?

Can someone please clarify if it is actually faster than PearPC? Or are people recieving mixed results?

[g-n-t]

because its not better and it doesnt work.

how is it supposed to be faster if its a rip?

well how would u feel if you spent 5 yrs developing innovative software and then some jackass comes and copies your code and tries to sell it?

They are the same speed.

*edit

maybe not 5 yrs...but u get the pnt.

[someguy03]

I am perfectly fine with the developer going and complaining about it, but I find it extremely annoying when you have 500 people ain the same topic all posting about how they think CherryOS is a stupid copy of PearPC. It only takes 1 person to say it.

[bm11208]

PPC fans, fine then consider me pirating a copy of CherryOS as a political statement.

[g-n-t]

how about deleting it?

[bm11208]

we should make it against the rules to even discuss this piece of crap on neowin. and put at a message on teh front page saying that it violates copyright laws. noone should be paying these ******s anything.

585594334[/snapback]

What copyright laws? You do realize that the whole reason for open source is to not have copyright laws right?

[g-n-t]

no, this is different. its not opensource, its theft.

[kyro]

ok lets stop the ranting here. what i want to know is What is fast and best between PearPC and CherryOS. i dont have copy of OSX ... yet.. :ninja:

[g-n-t]

they are both the same, but cherry os doesnt work very well.

and pearpc works in linux.

Most open source software relies on copyright. The majority of open source software is not public domain and is copyrighted. What they do have is far more lenient distribution terms and end-user use terms.

[Fotix]

no, this is different. its not opensource, its theft.

585600422[/snapback]

I wouldn't call it theft, personally, I'd call it plagiarism, and a possible violation of their license terms. They didn't remove anything, but duplicated somebody else's work and took credit for it. If the allegations against CherryOS are correct, that is. :ninja:

[someguy03]

Ok, we have established that many of you think CherryOS is a copy of PearPC under a different interface. Now, can we please get into something else? Like talking about bugs, product updates, specs, speeds, etc, about CherryOS?

I for one, need help. When using CherryOS, I got to the point in the OS X installation where you are asked to select a usable volume to install it too, but am not shown any places to install it (its blank). Why?
