WHO WOULD EMULATE A UNIX!!??

what do you mean

What are unix like

Are they any good to emulate??

I reaaaally hope that someone will finally understand what you speak of There's software to emulate a full x86 PC, and you can install any OS (which runs on x86) on these emulated PCs. In case you were asking this.

Very Interesting...

How Bout The Roms

I have a PC not a unix!!

I still don't understand what you're trying to say.

But

1) "PC" is an abbreviation for personal computer, usually we use it for x86 compatible computer. x86 is a hardware architecture.

2) Unix is a kind of OS (a bit oversimplified definition ). It is a kind of operating system like Windows. It has versions which can be run on x86 machines. For example, Linux is "a kind of" Unix, which has popular versions which run on PCs. As there is software to emulate a complete PC in Windows, Linux can both be installed on a "conventional" PC and the emulated PC. I can't seem to remember the names of the best emulation software, but Bochs is a free one. I guess there's a "Microsoft Virtual PC" and some others too. (VMWare maybe?)

But does that emulator only run in b and white or is it a colour one????

And i am currently using windows...

AND HOW BOUT UNIX ROMS??

WHERE ARE THEY??

UNIX is a program that runs on a pc, it doesn't need ROMs, it uses programs much like windows does. If you have UNIX installed on your pc it will run when you first turn it on like windows does, but instead of Windows.

Window and UNIX are both know as Operating systems they give you what is known as a User interface (some pretty some not so), they are what allow you to interact with your pc and in turn to run Programs. Normally you need some sort of Operating system for any program to run. Some may run on Windows, some may run on DOS and some Need UNIX or Linux to run. It’s just the program your PC runs to then run the other programs.

Why this site, I mean there are many many sites out there, but why do they all come to this one

CAN I DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE SOMEWHERE??

To be honest why would you want to run UNIX?

You can download and burn a bootable CD here and it will run from the CD without having to install it.

can u give it to me in a zip file

Or give me 10mb-80mb a day??

neva mind...
i'll get Intel 2 download it 4 me

Can u tell me da link for the file ACE??

Uh, it's already zipped, as in a CD image, and cannot do it in small parts.

Log on 2 msn so we can talk there

There is some gnu/linux emulation kinda stuff available from cygwin32, the best description is directly from their website:
What Is Cygwin?
# Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of two parts: A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API emulation layer providing substantial Linux API functionality.
# A collection of tools, which provide Linux look and feel.

The Cygwin DLL works with all non-beta, non "release candidate", ix86 32 bit versions of Windows since Windows 95, with the exception of Windows CE.

They have fairly robust binary support in my opinion, and what isnt packaged can usually be compiled.

you can find it at: http://www.cygwin.com/

hope that helps, also free unix shells are available at a number of places http://sdf.lonestar.org is one i've known about for a while.

But how do u use it??
it's just a bunch of files??

I don't understand!!

sorry mate, but it has to be said sooner or later.
HERE and HERE are the manuals and HOW-TO's.

read them.

This is just like a theme

Not an OS

I think someone needs to start reading things and not jumping to his or her own conclusion. We have all tried to help you, but so far your just intent on doing your own thing and not READING what is put before you. IF you cannot seem to comprehend and understand what an OS is then I don’t think you should be playing with them. It’s about time you started to learn how to use a search engine to help with your quests; they do come in very useful you know. But then again you will need to READ the whole topic of your search. Stop just picking out bit of information and making up what you think is correct. Also Linux is freely downloadable on the net, and comes in many flavours, but don’t expect it to be less then a 700meg download for a distro with X windows on.

Now have fun on our forums but stop and think before you post.
