I played with it a bit, but you can't do anything with it!

I play with it every once in a while. Really nice when you get it set up to port Linux apps (very clean), but not useful for a server, strictly desktop.

How difficult is it to port apps from Linux to QNX? I love the interface it comes with, and I also think it is a good desktop (or has the potential). What did you need/have to do to get it working?

Here's a question ... what exactly is QNX?

Check out www.qnx.com (http://www.qnx.com) for more info about it. It's a micro-kernel *nix clone.

I played with it for a little while, until my computer did not want to work any more. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/frown.gif

I think something on my motherboard must have overheated because LINUX kept crashing, Be kept crashing, even QNX was crashing. So I removed every card and replaced the video card with an older card that I had lying around and tried to reinstall linux. Nothing, Linux wouldn't even re-install. I removed everything but the bare necessities (cdrom drive, hard drive, floppy drive and video card) still wouldn't reinstall, just kept crashing with every attempt. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/frown.gif http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/frown.gif

Oh well, that's life, as soon as I get some extra cash I will replace the mother board and start over again.

Anyway, getting back to the topic at hand, I liked what little I was able to play with on QNX. I wasn't able to find the time to figure out how to get it to recognize my modem, therefore, I couldn't download anything extra for it, but the stuff that came with the CD seemed very good. I just can't wait until I can get a new motherboard and CPU so I can start playing with it again. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif
