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.

Not bad idea, i think you should ad some tools in aswell something alike sharpleech and other tools that will help webmasters and people in the warez scene.
 
It would be cool but sounds like a hell of a lot of work. Do you really have time for it all as you know you'll probably end up doing 90% of it all?
 
It's not that much work really since SUSE Studio makes a lot of the stuff extremely easy. Also the beauty of Linux is that it's open and free, anyone can do something with it so it wouldn't be bound to what or how much I do for it.

I could pre-install things like SharpLeech, ST-Grabber etc on it indeed. But also stuff that gets made by other people here. For example SplitIce his image uploader or IC's (if it gets Mono compatibility). A lot of interesting stuff can be done!
 
WOW !
Amazing ! really ! Its neat :)
But, I think, the name is not good :( "LiveW"
Something else like, wOS ? PirateOS ? WPC ? etc..
 
I like that logo Storming <3. Wouldn't mind rar'ing that psd + font(s)? As for the name, I'm open for suggestions. But wOS, meh. And PirateOS sounds to cliché IMO.
 
@Hyperz, I have a question.

Would this OS (when completed) run on a 32 Bit System ? with 512MB RAM ?
Because my Old Laptop has 512MB and its like, I'm bored with it being slow :(
So I never use it now...
But, if this WarezOS uses less RAM & Resources, then probably it'll be good :)
So I was just asking, what would be the performance outcome ? when completed. B-)
 
Nice to see it already has some supporters :D. I'll try and get rough working build of it ASAP. Though it will take some time for everything to get implemented.

Btw, I'll also pick some sites which will get pre-bookmarked in firefox.

Edit:

Maybe I'll do a 32-bit version of it depending on how much work that will take. As for performance, it should be good. It's based on openSUSE which in itself faster than a lot of other distros out there. It will also not contain "bloat" like openoffice and The GIMP etc so it should be smooth on low-end systems.
 
I'll be ready to assist you with my Holy GFX Skills >_> (After 2nd Dec)
So, you can shoot me a PM if you need any GFX Type help for the OS
Because I <3 it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Well I could use a 1920x1200 px wallpaper (without text/logo on it). I can't find one that I like. Maybe something like the background of this:
