H All !

I'm looking at andLinux - and I think it's great to have a Linux
running on Windows, and having KDE3 integration. Isn't it ?

Now What makes andLinux tick?
-coLinux patched kernel (+ coFS)
-andLinux as NT Service
-andLinux Launcher
-X Protocol
-PulseAudio

Just have a look at it ! ! !

It's wonderful. KDE3 apps feeling native on Windows ! WOW !

But andLinux is based upon Ubuntu, and I think, that it may be
possible to build something similar for openSUSE.

BTW: I think that it doesn't have to be based on coLinux - any
virtualizer will do, including VMware, VirtualBox, Microsoft Virtual
PC and even Qemu :)

The _main_ point here is Windows flawless integration. (NT Service +
andLinux Launcher)
All the rest seems to be less important.

X Protocol can be replaced with seamless-mode virtualization
(VirtualBox 1.6 or VMware 6.5), and PulseAudio can be replaced with
Sound Blaster emulation.
