andLinux free download, andLinux download on software download

andLinux is an application built to be a complete Ubuntu Linux system running in your computer. This project was started for Dynamism for the GP2X community, but its userbase far exceeds its original design. andLinux is free and will remain so, but donations are greatly needed. andLinux uses coLinux as its core which is confusing for many people. coLinux is a port of the Linux kernel to Windows. Although this technology is a bit like running Linux in a virtual machine, coLinux differs itself by being more of a merger of Windows and the Linux kernel and not an emulated PC, making it more efficient. Xming is used as X server and PulseAudio as sound server. andLinux is not just for development and runs almost all Linux applications without modification. You will get: - a fully functional Linux system, however without the usual desktop (you've already got one from Windows) - a second panel (e.g. at the top of your Windows desktop) or a second start menu (in the system tray next to the clock), from which you can start Linux applications - Linux applications and Windows applications can be used simultaneously and you can cut and paste text between them - apt / Synaptic to install further applications You will NOT get: - another desktop - the bench of applications that usually ship with Linux distributions (you have to fetch whatever you want) - trouble with further drivers NOTE: Security warning: It is recommended to use andLinux only on single-user-PCs or in a trustworthy environment because the communication with the X-Server and the launcher is not secured, i.e., every user who can login to Windows can access andLinux. andLinux is not suitable for high-performance realtime graphics such as required by most 3D games. Although some users managed to get openGL applications to work on recent hardware, you will most probably experience problems doing so. If you have a multi-core CPU, you will only be able to use one of these cores for andLinux (due to technological limitations, as all andLinux processes are encapsulated in one Windows process).
