Re: Free OS Downloads!!!
Why would anyone try Solaris 8 now? With Opensolaris 10 freely available. I have tried FreeBSD and it's variants, ReactOS and darwin. Well couldn't even get darwin to install cos of a couple of problems. ReactOS never worked cos it didn't support USB mouse 
FreeBSD is just great but haven't messed around with it much yet.

Re: Free OS Downloads!!!
^ Don't know much about them but looks like they are alive again. Especially when we consider that they made a stable release just last month and a news letter on 1st May talking about Roadmap to their next release. I had also read somewhere (on Wikipedia maybe?) that they were dead sometime back.

Re: Free OS Downloads!!!
ReactOS was never dead. They were just migrating to SVN from the CVS repository so releases were slowed. For more info you can visit the irc channel or subscribe to newsletter.
As for being linux like, Intel_Gigacore reactos is not even linux like, the only similarity is both are FOSS. ReactOS is almost Windows, not Linux.

Re: Free OS Downloads!!!
I don't think any of them are like linux. Most are *nix like and a couple others like ReactOS(windows), FreeDOS(DOS) and quite different.

Re: Free OS Downloads!!!
