While it's certainly an exiting project, I understood that it was NOT
based on the Windows subsystem mechanism, but rather hacking your way
into Windows NT's ring 0 using a device driver. While I'm a great fan of "if it works", wouldn't it be nicer, long run, to have a proper subsystem of it?
As one of the other comments said the Windows POSIX subsystem model has some limitations. I would like to bring CoLinux to the point that it ties in as well to Windows and ReactOS as SFU does.
Also, what are you planning on doing with graphic applications? CoLinux works by running a X server on the windows machine. That's probably not the best solution there is. How is the ReactOS windowing back-end implemented?
We are looking at that currently. ReactOS's TCP/IP implemetation is lacking so running XFree/Cygwin is not a option atm. Once we get TCP/IP going than any Xserver for Windows should do but I would like to bring libw11 in to ReactOS and implement a Xserver as a core OS componate. LibW11 if you dont know about it sits on top of User32/GDI and translates all of the XLib calls to Win32 calls. I we can make a faster/lighter Xserver reusing this code.
Thanks Steven
