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.

Thanks guys, I'll add them when I get back home in an hour or 2.

Edit:
Added them, do note that for now I won't add any other mirrors to the 1st post untill 0.0.3 drops because I think there's enough choice there atm :). Thanks again to all who are supporting the project. Really appreciate the effort!
 
holy crap, I achieved 2mb/sec on SplitIce's mirror. Thats the speed I download from RS. Thanks man!

I'll install with vmware, but let me know when a more stable version is ready. I can help advertise it a lot. I find these types of projects are the ones that really get somewhere, instead of having a bored coder do it because he is paid to :D.
 
Cool. Just for the information, 0.0.2 is pretty stable. In the sence that it won't crash on you because of some odd bug/issue. That's mainly thanks to the stability of openSUSE. The "Know issues" are more configuration issues then something related to instability :).

For later version just keep an eye on the 1st post. Small note though that I need people to test and feedback on the ALPHA as well because the more people do the better the stable release will be. Beta testing is not a crime ;).
 
Alright mate, I downloaded this the other day, installed it, and everything is fine, my net and everything else, I just can't get my sound to work. :(

I am using this motherboard
Code: 
http://asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=8YiUFvK51IergAqY
and I use my surround sound on it, through the digital optical slot and I have got the disc to install the Realtek HD Drivers onto Windows, but I can't get it working at all with Linux. Any help would be appreciated mate, cheers :)
 
Use that disk with a program called "wine"

try it. its windows progs on linux software. if im misunderstanding your problem sorry, but that should be a quick fix.


cheers
 
Wine is included on the disk, but that won't work for actual hardware drivers. Go to Computer > Yast > Sound and tell me if you see any device listed there. If possible screenshot it :).
 
I burned/mounted the iso onto a dvd.
opened it and got.. Boot (Folder) Config.isoclient and LiveW-read-only.. what do i do? Sorry but never installed a OS before.
