During the testing period, I was just amazed with the speed of the Open Source Syllable OS. It seemed faster than both the Windows and Linux! From the time the boot loader came up to the time the login prompt appeared was just around 6 seconds on my Core2Duo 3 Ghz with 1GB of DDR2 memory.

It took another second or less from the time I logged in to the time the desktop was ready. I think the computer’s POST (power-on self test) activities took longer than the OS took to boot. Applications seemed to take less than a second to come up which was definitely impressive. True, that I have never seen such responsiveness out of a stock install of any other desktop operating system.

A great feature of the OS is its simplicity. The Free PC OS Software has a simple, easy-to-understand interface, which is great. The OS has some basic, rudimentary controls, yet manages to include everything one would need to get up and running! The setup may not be highly configurable, but it scores on points such as, the desktop is uncluttered and easy to figure out. It was beacuse of this simplicity, that i was able to customise it in no time at all.

For running this Free PC OS Software comfortably, a Pentium 200 MHz with a minimum of 64M of RAM is required. The OS an also be squeezed into a smaller system though, but the results won’t be as ideal as you would want it to be. Around 300MB of hard drive space is usually fine for general use, however, it should be kept in mind that Syllable won’t install on any existing FAT/NTFS or ext2/3 partitions. To install the OS you need to format the partition with a journalled file system, modelled on the BeOS file system. You can Download Open Source Desktop PC Operating System Syllable Free here.

 In terms of sound, video and network card support,the Free Desktop Operating System Syllable sports an impressive array of drivers for the most well-known kit, so before you give it a spin, it’s worth checking out the hardware compatibility list first. Virtual machines and emulators (such as VMware and Bochs) can also run the OS with a bit of tweaking.

The Free Syllable Open Source Computer OS, is a mini sized, feature packed, simple and a high speed operating system and still needs some time before it enters the general market. Although, the software does suffer from a few glitches here and there ,that is mainly due to the fact that, its development is still not finished yet. But, else than that, the software would definitely not fail to impress you because afterall it is, what it promises to be!

The software is feature rich and supports Mesa 3D, OpenGL, and GLX 3D graphics extensions capabilities, and just like the proprietary X win32 can be used for running graphical programs on remote Unix or Linux servers to Simulate X Windows Server.

The Free X Windows Server for Desktop Computers XMing , is based on the X.Org Server and is cross-compiled on Linux with the MinGW compiler suite and the Pthreads Win32 multi-threading library. XMing runs natively on Windows and does not need any third-party emulation software. XMing provides all the basic X windows Server functions, plus supports some more features, like, it lets you project your favourite X Window GUI applications onto the desktop. With the XMing, you can extend server-side X fonts to include any truetype fonts on your Windows machine which can be accessed, and added to the server font list.

A great feature of this software is that it can be used as a KVM substitute, which implies that there is no need put expensive hardwares. The XMing software can be used with “portablePuTTY” as a pocket PC X Server, by copying the files to a usb flash drive or, on the source disk.

 Once made portable, no installed software or access to the Windows registry are needed. One thing I really liked about the Free Portable Putty Software to Connect Windows & Linux Computers is that, it stores the configuration data (sessions, ssh hostkeys) to files instead of the registry and, can work from existing registry entries which is really helpful in varied situations.

With XMing, you can display remote X clients directly on a Windows desktop without running a remote display manager and so free up the system resources used by that DM. It should be noted however that the use of XDMCP mode needs a remote DM running! The XMing X server can be used locally, or together with the coLinux, Cygwin, SFU (Microsoft Services for Unix) / SUA or UWIN.

Now, a word of caution before you Download X Windows Server on Microsoft Windows PC. The X Window Servers can be difficult and complex to start and use, and XMing is no different, I suggest you better start using it with XLaunch if you are relatively new in the arena. Although, there are an array of powerful features with this X Windows Server, it must be mentioned that the software learning curve still puts a great deal of challenge to the novice users out there.

This Free X Windows for MS Windows can be incredibly useful in situations where you want to access Linux (or Solaris, or Unix, FreeBSD, etc) from within the Windows envioronment. Unlike the Cygwin and the X win32, XMing is relatively easy on the system resources,   compact,  feature rich and stable.
