I'm interested in what else you have in a historic VM collection, I quite like the idea of opening up my VM manager and seeing a list of historic systems?
Can you elaborate a little?
- kinleyd 15y agoOops, "historic" isn't quite what my collection is yet - the hyperbole comes from enthusiasm, can't help myself. The majority are different Linux distros I'm trying, plus Windows XP and 7, and OS X. The history section currently includes only the present Unix 7 and a version of the OpenGenera Lisp Machine which I'm still trying to convert to VirtualBox.
- RexRollman 15y agoI have BeOS running on VirtualPC but I would love to have Nextstep on a VM. In some ways, I like it more than Mac OS X.
- frou_dh 15y agoThere's a torrent out there of a fully patched OpenStep 4.2 ready to run in a VM.
- RexRollman 15y agoThanks for the head's up. I'll look for it.
- kinleyd 15y agoThere are torrents for NeXTstep 3.3 as well. I'm downloading it right now, let's see how they work. :) Any more suggestions for VMs of other classic systems worth pursuing (and available for download)?
- kinleyd 15y agoNice. I've got both OpenStep 4.2 and NeXTstep 3.3 running on VirtualBox VMs. Still to get the vga (color) and mouse drivers working, but it's quite a thrill to get Steve Job's baby on my system. Nice to think that Tim Berners-Lee got the www going on this system too, even if NeXTstep itself wasn't a commercial success. :)
