“In our first segment, the executives of Alta Terra, the
company that created MaxOS, explained the reasons for creating a
new distribution for Linux. … In this second installment, they
explain additional features of MaxOS and discuss the direction they
hope the distribution will take in the future.”
“[VD:] How would MaxOS handle dual-booting with
a current Windows install? Does it set it up on the fly?
[DD:] As soon as you install, you reboot, and a
dual-boot screen comes up and asks which operating system would you
like: MaxOS or Windows? You can scroll up and down and pick
whichever one you want. As an aside, I see our future in the
multiplayer gaming market. That’s where MaxOS really shines. I
think there are more and more [games] coming in the future, whether
it’s over—well, not just over the
Web—but you, me, and three other guys get together
and hook up our computers Friday night and we blast it till Sunday,
right? (Laughs.)”
