Also as a general announcement to everyone, our site is being updated signifigantly (complete redesign) so take a look at that but keep in mind its content is not finished but the base layout it http://www.fusionos.net/ and the big annoucement is that Fusion OS Beta 2 has been delayed to May 30th, 2011! The reason is because of all the computer trouble I have had lately and I have been trying to get things back in order but now everything is taken care of and Fusion OS is my main priority. Window theme is also ~80% completed and implemented. Also would there be any interest in Fusion including a Windows application layer such as Wine? If Wine was included I would try and integrated very deeply into the OS, but I want to know if there would be any interest in it first?

Hey Everybody,

By the way sorry about the typos above I typed that on my iPhone and im sure you know how auto-correct can be. But back to the point the site is back up, and I got things sorted out. the problem was that the Beta 1 build I uploaded for download was apparently causing to much load on their server when people downloaded it. So long story short I had to delete the file and they would restore the site, so the site is back but the download links no longer work. Now before I can release Beta 2 I am going to have to find a way to host it or someone that would volunteer their server. I will post more updates as they hapen.

Thanks,

Keith.

If it's not too big you could maybe try dropbox?

Better would be to use file hosting that is meant for sharing bigger files, than one that is free and is meant for personal sharing with no obligation of providing required bandwidth or stability. Those "cloud" sharing services are not really meant for it, they actually do regulate bandwidth usage and disable accounts if they are used for blatantly sharing files with masses.

I would suggest using torrents, or renting cdn services or paying premium account on one of the legit file sharing services (like mediafire), or/and (additionally) providing (mirrors) using open source hosting/SVN services. You are already using some version control system (git, svn, mercury), right? You could as well make it public, right? You could develop it on Github or Google code, for example. Or at least upload the releases to one of the two.

i bet you could make an account with SourceForge and host the download there

if that doesn't work out i agree with using a premium account on MediaFire, i know from personal experience that they're an EXCELLENT file sharing site, they don't cap download speeds for anyone and their download speeds are just plain great, they're premium account prices are very reasonable as well http://www.mediafire.com/select_account_type.php

Is this related in any way to this distro:

http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=fusion

Just curious...

no, it appears that that is based off of Fedora, the main giveaway is the style gnome is in and the fact that it still has the default fedora 14 desktop image :p

Hey Everybody,

Well as you know we will be releasing Fusion OS Beta 2 on Monday, and we hope your as excited as we are! To hold you over till then I am releasing a image of what the login will look like in future versions of fOS. To be honest login screens for Linux suck. I mean pretty bad they are very bland from distro to distro and do not offer you important information such as: Network Connectivity, large time display, and easy login but keeping all the powerful options for advanced users. We want to tackle this with Fusion OS. So here is the image that we will be basing our future login screen off of. The login screen project is codename: "Ingress" which means and opening or entrance:

Also we have updated our website and it is a darastic change! Go take a look all the links should would work except for the download because as stated before we had to pull the Beta 1 download, but we should have things sorted out for Beta 2. We also have opend a Ticket Center for you to report bugs you find in Fusion OS, and for support too. Fusion OS Beta 2 is codenamed "Dragonfly" internally so if you ever see references to that, that is what it is meaning. Thanks for reading!

- Keith.

    • How to set custom folder icons in Windows 11 File Explorer

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      How to set custom folder icons in Windows 11 File Explorer by Usama Jawad Although there are many third-party tools like Windhawk, FlyOOBE, DeskScapes 2026, and more that can be used to customize and tweak Windows 11 according to your preferences, many people often forget that the operating system natively offers a lot of configurability too. One such handy option is available inside File Explorer, where you can set custom folder icons to personalize your experience very quickly. File Explorer is an interface that Windows 11 users leverage rather heavily, so it can get quite boring looking at default icons. It can also be a bit tedious reading the text of each item to navigate to the folder you need. In cases like these, custom folder icons can come in quite handy as they allow you to not only personalize File Explorer, but also offer meaningful aesthetics that can make navigation quicker. Here is how to configure custom folder icons in Windows 11: Download icon files (.ico) from a third-party website of your choice. There are lots of free options online, like Icon Archive. You'll also be able to download them directly from Google Images Open File Explorer Navigate to the folder you want to customize Right-click the folder Select Properties Go to the Customize tab Select Change Icon If you want, you can select a native icon from the Windows directory, but for the purpose of this guide, we'll select the third-party .ico file that we downloaded. As such, select Browse Navigate to the .ico file and double-click it Click Apply, followed by OK That's all there is to it! It shouldn't take more than a minute after downloading the .ico file of your choice. The good news is also that you are not married to the icon you set; you can restore it to the default icon by simply selecting Restore Defaults in the interface mentioned in step 8. It's a very easy way to customize File Explorer, with any changes in this regard being quickly reversible. I would also recommend using View > Extra large icons in File Explorer so that you can properly enjoy the aesthetics. You can also download the entire Object Desktop package. Object Desktop includes programs such as Fences, Start11, Groupy, SoundPackager, DeskScapes and Multiplicity. Disclaimer: Neowin's relationship to Stardock
    • Teams on macOS has a major bug for some users, and Microsoft is rolling out guidance

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Teams on macOS has a major bug for some users, and Microsoft is rolling out guidance by Usama Jawad Teams is one of the most used online communication and collaboration tools especially in enterprise and school environments. It is available on a variety of platforms including Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and the web. As such, it is a major problem when users on any of the aforementioned platforms get affected. In its Message Center advisory MC1392559, Microsoft acknowledged a bug impacting Teams customers on certain versions of macOS a few weeks ago. Basically, if affected users start sharing their screen, they'll see a black or blank screen, experience interruptions while sharing, and even face complete failure in screen sharing functionality. This is impacting customers using macOS versions older than Tahoe 26.4, and PCs which are resource-constrained on disk and memory. Interestingly, the scope of this issue appears to be limited as Microsoft has only listed Government Community Cloud (GCC), GCC High, and Department of Defense (DoD) as the affected platforms. Since it can be confusing to customers when the bug appears randomly and troubleshooting methods aren't always obvious, Microsoft is working on introducing some in-product guidance that automatically gets shown to users when a screen sharing failure is detected. They'll be asked to retry sharing their screen and will also be requested to update their macOS version, when applicable. If that is not possible, the Redmond tech giant has urged users to apply a mitigation that involves navigating to Teams Settings > General > Screen sharing > Use Mac OS native sharing. A restart isn't required. Regardless, Microsoft has recommended IT admins to inform their helpdesks about this issue, update their internal documentation, communicate the problem across the organization, and update macOS Tahoe 26.4 devices, where possible. The in-product guidance will begin rolling out later this month and should hopefully be available to all by mid-August.
