Tetrasoft Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 A Pre-Release of the Lina Source code will hopefully be released today to the open source community. http://www.openlina.com/ A pre-release version of LINA's code will be available for download July 19, 2007, under the GNU General Public License, Version 2. LINA | Features Native look and feel With LINA, Open Source applications developed in a Linux environment can run on Windows, Mac OS X, and UNIX operating systems, as well as any flavor of Linux. Compiled and run on the LINA platform, these Linux applications adopt the appearance and interface characteristics of applications written for the underlying operating system. With LINA, users get the native look and feel of the operating system they are accustomed to. Fully portable LINA runs invisibly wherever installed, offering a fully integrated solution for development and deployment of cross-platform executables. Secure and stable With LINA installed, programs written for Linux will run securely, regardless of changes made to the underlying operating system. LINA insulates the underlying operating system from the applications running on LINA, and protects the user's other programs and data from unexpected modifications.

Xaero_Vincent Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Lina wants to bring FOSS apps to Windows and OS X but they are already there for the most part. I'd say about 90% of useful FOSS apps are ported to Windows or OS X or going to be. I wont be using any Lina apps because of the overhead associated with it and the 2x performance penalty. Lina should have helped bring commercial apps to FOSS platforms. That would be a far more rewarding idea, IMHO.
