Are Reactos and Winutuxu alike?

[eggl_link]

There is no doubt that there might be some legality issues with winutuxu but, there is somethings that really make it seam like there is linux running in the background of this os that kinda remind me of reactos, like being able to install winutux u on a 64mb system. Windows xp pro and home where 128 and up i believe. Even tho
i wouldnt install windows xp on any system with less than 256mb of ram, winutuxu installed fine on a 1ghz system with 96 mb of ram and ran very fast.
This is all got me wondering if any parts of winutuxu can be helpfull to wine.
It would be great to have someone take this winutuxu os apart and tell us what is really going on here. Leave your comments and thoughts. plz

Winutuxu is Windows XP but heavily modified to work and look like Ubuntu, and includes open source programs. ReactOS is an open source implementation of Windows. So the two things are very different beasts. Wine allows "some" windows applications to run "natively" in Linux.

So ReactOS and Wine are trying to emulate Windows, Winutuxu is Windows. XP will run with less than 192mb ram, just depends how stripped down it is. The light versions of XP built by eXPerience demonstrate this fact.

Suggest if you need to run windows programs then do so in a virtualbox or dual boot.

if these 2 programs could work together, imagine the possibilities

I know what you mean, but BAD BAD idea :-)

ReactOS was accused of using leaked Windows code a while back, and the project was put on hold for a while until the entire codebase was audited. If ReactOS worked with a bunch of pirates, ReactOS would get shut down faster than you can say DMCA.

then im deleting it... if it don't use a Linux kernel, then its no good to me!

I wouldn't necessarily take that POV - what if it's got a real BSD kernel or a real Syllable kernel? (mind you, I'm talking about a real BSD kernel, not something that Apple's engineers fused with parts of NeXT and various species of pig and goat).

I like Apples kernel / all UNIX kernel variants are a hell of alot better then M$. I Cant believe the changes to computing opensorce is making. I thought that moving from M$ to linux would be a pain but, then I found Vmware server, lol. Im hardly in my M$ guest ever but, it would be nice to have a os that is all linux but be able to run M$ files and exe's with out a hiccup but, oh ya M$ code is buggier then hell anyways, oops forgot that. All I really care about doing in M$ is play diablo2 witch I can do with wine anyways. dos was cool then they killed it, took your control away. I wish i found out about opensorce os's along time ago! This is why im donating money to some opensorce projects that I would really pay to have them anyways cause there that good.
