Description:
LiveW is a Linux OS based on openSUSE (11.1 atm) which is targeted at warez users. It includes a range of programs and tools for downloading, running and viewing warez. It also has many things pre-installed and configured which you normally don't find in Linux distros such as Ubuntu, openSUSE, etc including Flash, PlayOnLinux, Wine, lots of codecs, Microsoft core fonts, working and pre-configured sub-pixel font rendering for LCD monitors etc. You don't have to remove Windows or install it in order to use, you can just boot from the CD (Live CD). Though if you like you can still easily install it to your harddrive after you booted the CD, and I would recommend doing so. Another thing worth noting is: no viruses, trojans, keyloggers, BSOD's whatsoever! However, you can still get Rick Roll'd.

Download Mirrors (Current version: 0.0.3 ALPHA):

More mirrors are welcome! If you uploaded the ISO to your server/VPS or a file host please share the link(s) in this topic, thanks :).

Changes since the last version:

  • Changed Firefox default theme to one that looks more like the Windows version.
  • Fixed issue in Firefox where it would not select the correct program for opening files.
  • Added some Firefox 'Scene Bookmarks' (More will be added later)
  • Pre-installed Firefox add-ons: AdBlock Plus, GreaseMonkey, KDST, Im4ge, IC Tools.
  • Added Ndiswrapper package.
  • Some other small config tweaks here and there.
This the last ALPHA release.

Known Issues:

  • In some cases the splash screen doesn't show while booting.
  • Sometimes the system reverts to the default openSUSE theme. If this should happen you can easliy change it again by going to Computer > Control Center > Appearance and changing the theme to LiveW 0.1.
  • Some of the openSUSE art, branding and icons hasn't been replace yet.
  • This is an ALPHA release, other issues and bugs should be expected.
Things not present yet that will be in the Final version:

  • Additional Firefox Add-ons, Bookmarks and Plugins.
  • Homebrew scene apps and some custom programs by me (for warez users).
  • A Peer-2-Peer client.
  • Simple CompizConfig Settings Manager.
  • Some other stuff which I can't think of now.

Minimum system requirements:
- Single core AMD Athlon64 or 64 bit Pentium 4 processor
- 256MB RAM, 512MB is highly recommended
- 3GB HDD (for installation)

I would personally also recommend a recent ATI or nVidia card.

Notice: Default user/root password is linux
Notice: Use at your own risk! This is ALPHA software.
Notice: Remember that you need to install your graphics card drivers for better performance

Remember:
This is not MY project, this is everbody's project! B-)
Share it, spread the word and contribute where possible!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did developing it. Peace.

vingoradov your metaphor and your point is shitty.

When i design i usually do a mockup first (basic flat colours) in this case it would be like LiveW Alpha.

Once the client is good with the basic layout/design i go ahead with adding major things and fixing. Then client says to fix X so i do, this would be like releasing the RC of something.

OK so if I design half a logo and I know I can finish the rest without major errors why not release the full logo? (for example)

I think its just a bit too soon. Thats all.

And yes, third logo by chri5 is awesome

Wait you're trying to argue that a picture / logo design is even on the same level as programming design?

Come on now! Those are two completely different things because a picture doesn't need to be tested first off. Second of all 100's of hours can go into making 1 application, if you go past 10 hours on a single graphic then that's nuts!

Software isn't a logo. If you'll ever develop anything software related you'll see why this is normal procedure when developing. But I'm sure you already knew that. Please, don't be negative for the sake of being negative. It doesn't benefit anyone m8.
 
Trying to seed the torrent, but I can't even download it because there aren't any seeders lol. Once it's downloaded, everyone will be able to download at full speed from the torrent file.
 
Feel free to create a new torrent btw :).
It's the war of the mirrors :p.

Be aware though those that provide mirrors that since this an ALPHA release new version could be released within short time frames, maybe even a day apart in some cases.
 
@Hyperz

Perhaps figure out a primary mirror that we can set a cron to check and rsync/fetch from, that way everyone stays up to date.
 
I got slow 256Kbps connection so downloading it from the past 4 hours lolz . 10% more left to download. Btw Hyperz you know where i can get programs for suse as the main frame of liveW is on suse i guess :)
