I am not entirely sure if it will work reliably. You should try testing it first in virtualbox. However, as Nio said, installing an OS is always risky. You should ALWAYS keep a backup of important documents.
Feel free to avoid programming, we definitely need testers that are not programmers. It is key to helping us programmers make something non-programmers can use easily. If I write a brilliant program one day, and no one can figure out how to use it... it isn't very brilliant at all. Now if I write a simple, easy to use program even if it only does a few things... it is much better. Thanks for being willing to test our OS!! We will probably relase the Beta soon. I have found a few bugs in the newest xinitrc script (programming stuff sorry) but I have also found the way to fix it, and will update it soon! -- Regards -Israel ToriOS Team -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~torios Post to : torios@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~torios More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
