I remember Beos and Haiku from many years ago. Be boxes etc etc. One of my old managers loved the thing, had Beos running as a media server at work.
As most things time moves on and Beos was left dead by other os's and hardware. Then I notice everyone going on about it again here so thought hmm will give it another go.
Well all I can say hasn't changed still looks the same ugly. Very buggy still. Anyway first thing I wanted to do was try browsing see if flash and stuff worked but networking was a no go. DHCP, not happening kept crashing. Finally got the static working and I could browse.
Preferences folder had a mind of it's own, one minute there nek minute empty.
So thought I'd check out some apps, same old list and nothing I'd really use everyday. Sure I can browse the net and read email but I can do that already.
One thing that was good as always with Beos is the speed, always liked that.
Anyway those that state or try to relate it to the Amiga I'm not sure how they link up. Doesn't feel like an Amiga to me.
If I looked at it from a corporate/defence force angle (I support PC's/Networks) it's fun to play with but that's about it.
Anyway back to my Amiga for some gaming, tonight some switchblade 2 :-)
