it would however put forward the commitment for a website to be involved in Open source distro that will be endorsed by us when it reaches a stable 1.0

With all the news of Google might be having it's own OS, how about Neowin might be having it's own OS, wheres the media!

Wheres the MEDIA! ahhhhhhh!

I guess it really is down to what you define as a distro. Do we have to make our own Kernel patches? Do we need our own package manager? Do we just have to compile everything from source? It really is a subject that's open for debate, but regardless the point of this project is to produce a Linux Live CD for the Neowin community.

I haven't tried it yet. How stable is it?

It is still in beta form. We are really asking folks who want to test it out to do so..... and not really recommending it for installation at this point.

That is your opinion. However, we have posted many times that NO TROLLING of this distro is allowed. If you want to build your own distro then please be my guest. If you want to help our initiative, please be our guest. But to sit back and take pot-shots at others hard work is absolutely uncalled for.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      By +Edouard · Posted

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
