Tom,<br><br>You are correct I am interested in GEM acting as a X-DM/X-WM (like KDE using KDM or Gnome does with GDM, etc.) without using an emulator of any kind. I had read this awhile back that this was proposed:<br><br>http://sourceforge.net/news/?group_id=88914<br><br>...is this (Linux based GEM) even remotely possible?<br><br>Thanks for any help, though, everyone.<br><br>---<br>Jeff Wood<span style="text-decoration:underline"><br><br></span><br><br><div>> Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2011 09:54:18 -0700<br>> From: topcatdrc@yahoo.com<br>> To: gem-dev@simpits.org<br>> Subject: Re: [GEM Development] GEM Desktop & Linux<br>> <br>> Liam,<br>> <br>> That was an interesting side-trip thru the web for me. First, I linked out to your google page, then to that woman-in-a-corset's page, then National Novel Month, then back to her page finding a nice cartoon about friendship and a picture of cats on a car hood (for one of my sisters - the catSS owner) - and I hadn't even gotten to any GEM related subject matter, yet!<br>> <br>> AFrOS runs over ARAnyM and<br>> <br>> ARAnyM is a software virtual machine (similar to VirtualBox or Bochs) designed and developed for running 32-bit Atari ST/TT/Falcon operating systems (TOS, FreeMiNT, MagiC and Linux-m68k) and TOS/GEM applications on any kind of hardware - be it an IBM clone (read it as "PC" :-), an Apple, an Unix server, a graphics workstation or even a portable computer.<br>> <br>> Later on, I think it said something about a mini- ?linux?. Any way, Jeff can look that up for himself. (It is NOT acting as an X-WM - which is what I think he's interested in.)<br>> <br>> The other two ref.s have been mentioned here, before, and are GOOD.<br>> <br>> Thanks again, for the respite - from work.<br>> <br>> Tom Clayton<br>> <br><br></div> </div></body>
