another system or system part (OS.) that I find interesting: async file system, heh isn't that what cloud computing sorta emulates these days ? (falls into the there is nothing new under the sun, category. a quite interesting and useful DB based OS system. You know what used to be big in Russia previously: Pick OS Although it was originally thought to be compatible with Windows 95 (when the project was called FreeWin95), today it supports software for the Windows NT 5.x. bebits is of course available, as well as haiku's own repository Next step would be multi-user mode, now that may take some time, even if the underpinnings are there, and hopefully they don't get diverted to the any and all themes support that is endemic within the Linux, windows and OSX worlds for the fans of each. In fact I do have it running on its own partition, and just like the original Beos, fast boot gets me a desktop ready to run.Yes, I like it as well, but its development is definitely taking some time, although they are on the right path although it is less than likely that there might be native drivers for that OS, eg nvidia etc. Xenopeek wrote:But yeah, Haiku is shaping up nicely and worth a lookįor a desktop OS, that would be my only other choice (speedy.) Other OSs' such as Amiga, didn't appeal, because of the crude drawer animations for folders etc, or OS/2, even if there two-way links were interesting, the GUI look was quite crude. there is a free version of beos, 5x home, however the Hailku version install better on newer hardware ![]() Whenever I look for alternative for windows, I use Linux, but if I should even look, I would be trying haiku (open source redevelopment of Beos), and I did have Beos 5x version before Beos imploded, and like it very much, especially their tracker application. That development,even if it succeeded would not appeal to Linux users, and why would it appeal to windows OS users, they already have their native versions available, and it does come installed when they buy a new PC or notebook, so nothing to miss for them.Īlso that development has been alpha for so long, it is embarrassing. ![]() Helterskelter wrote:Looks like some competition for Windows and LINUX ?
