it was matrox millenium 2mb, I'm probably the last one still using 
it ;)
but I should have a new one next week

The LivePC, forgot about that one already. It's contributed, so I 
guess not. We are releasing a VMWare image ourselves, now, though

Is javascript fully supported in the browser?
Kaj

As far as I know, yes
But, announcement next week :-)
(There are always snags with parts of browser functionality)

no antivirus software?
clam AV?
Kaj

We don't have viruses :-)

KHTML browser should be easier to port.
Kaj
15-Jun-2007
[877]
Such as Linux anti-virus would probably not be hard to port
Graham
15-Jun-2007
[878]
No, you may not have viruses, but you also don't want to send attachments 
that do ...

I wonder about your comment - REBOL in the works, Orca (check). What 
do you mean by that? Isn't Orca the only Rebol awailable to you?
Kaj

Our browser has been based on KHTML for six or seven years - years 
before Apple did it

Graham - it surely can't come with everything from the very beginning 
:-)

Come to the conference. I can bring you Autumn to listen :-)
Graham

I'm getting a status report!
conference is in Dutch?
Pekr

Autumn to listen? Don't understand, sorry :-)
Kaj

I guess we'll speak English
Graham

takes advantage of multicore processors?
Kaj

Gathering, Autumn
Yes, SMP design from the beginning, and we fixed the implementation 
last year
BeOS model

the 10 second boot is very appealing
if the other stuff is there too!
Kaj
15-Jun-2007
[895]
Yeah, it's like a carrot that is dangling just too far :-)
Pekr

MorphOS booting still faster though. Version 2.0 close to release. 
Hopefully it has native tcp/ip stack at least now :-)
Kaj
15-Jun-2007
[897]
Watch the announcement, though :-)
Pekr

hehe, Syllable ported to Efika PPC board :-)
Kaj

Yes, Amiga tech is the only thing that is still faster. But outdated 
tech and more stuff missing than in Syllable
Pekr

is Syllable multiuser? Not that I would strictly require that from 
desktop os personally ....
Graham

make sure that the license says it can't be used by the military!
Kaj
15-Jun-2007
[902]
I dunno what crazy things the military wants
Graham

[903]
I remember they used to have Amiga 3000s on war ships .. because 
they rebooted faster than windows PCs
Kaj

There's a specific open-source license for that, but never heard 
of it again
Open source only works if it's egalitarian
Multi-user: check (unlike Haiku)
Graham

so, can 10 users be logged in to the same PC with their own video 
cards,keyboards and mice?
simultaneously?
Kaj

[909x2]
The army can use it if they want. I think it's our responsibility 
to take the technology in our own hands and become a people's army 
again
No, partly because we don't support multiple video cards yet
Graham
15-Jun-2007
[911x2]
oh .. no multiple monitors then either?
ie. dual head videocards
Kaj
