I have several boxed versions of BeOS 5.0 pro. I was one of their first distributors in Nevada.  I think the speed and innovation of that OS was great, but sadly BeOS was crushed like an insect by the big boys. I tried many flavors of Linux, but found, I could not watch a DVD etc. so I picked up a used imac g4 700mhz OS 10.2.8 currently.  I really like it. but it boots too slow etc. for me. I have been trying to follow the BeOS 6 Pro promises, and recently ordered Zeta
RC3 Deluxe edition from Yellowtab.biz which appears to be the only BeOS update that is a full functional OS that I could find. I want to install it on my Xandros Box.  I have for the most part given up on M$ out of frustration with the problems, which should not exist in the first place.       It should be here by the end of the month. I recently stumbled across Morph OS, Amiga etc. I heard interesting things about how advanced Amiga was, and so far ahead of it's time. I have only been using computers extensively since 1998.

So I am looking into purchasing a Pegasos / Morph OS machine here. I really like the Apple platform. It appears to be superior to the x86.  

Welcome!
Keep in mind that the Amiga-compatible OSes dure are small and fast, but the hardware is usually somewhat underpowered.

I personally await BeOS 6 eagerly. :-D
