I?m glad this thread has been re opened, I downloaded this from the original links posted last night and can?t seem to get the virtual machine to connect to the internet. Any tips? Using VMware player I have tried both bridged and nat with no luck, as you can?t even log on without a working network connection it?s hard to find out what the problem actually is.

Also am I allowed to link to a mirror of this I created last night? it requires no registration unlike the links posted above.

At Neowin, we prefer "official" links. Let me know when you have them and I'll re-open this thread.

Thread Closed

Just curious, but if (for example) Fedora was available on torrent, but not on a RedHat hosted site, would that thread be closed and links removed?

Question I have is that these are open source projects, so there isn't a copyright issue or any other need for a specific host, so will all third-party hosts of files be closed and links removed?

I had the same thought. Thing is, the guy that compiled this build isn't even the official distributor of the project, Google is so even his link is technically unofficial.

CentOS isn't the official distributer of RedHat Enterprise Linux. They take RedHat source code and compile it and re-distribute it (after removing trademarks like logos and such). The only difference between the two is the popularity between them.

The VMDK file has to be converted for the current version of Player or WS to read it (WS 7 can do so in the same process used to create a custom VM, which is how I did it).

Because of the conversion needed (which Player can't do; however, WS 7 can), I suggest WS 7 or Fusion as opposed to Player.

Settings otherwise: guest is Linux-Ubuntu, RAM is 512 MB, graphical acceleration is on, networking is NAT (not bridged) with Windows hosts.

It's not Android - it's aimed at larger screens than Android.

However, it is aimed at *smaller* displays than even Kubuntu Netbook Remix (from the font scaling, I'd say no larger than 1024x768, if not 800x600).

Optional usages - an always-on Kindle-type or other eBook device based on a netbook (or even a small netbook with built-in wireless for hotel guests; basically a wireless version of the subsidized MiFi netbook that VZW, AT&T Mobility, and Sprint are offering).

Go to the VM options and change the network adapter type to "Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop".

Make sure you right click Virtual Box and choose to run as administrator (given you are running Windows Vista or 7)

I had the same issue even though I have full admin rights and UAC disabled :/

    • 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/

      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?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      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.
