My wish is they would try to lock down a platform hardware wise to install Haiku on.  I hate the hit and miss of this system works, this does not, this works kind of, that one may or may not.

That gets old.

I own a BeBox and if they sold a HaikuBox that Haiku was built around would for sure run on, I would buy it.  Even if they just had a sponsored system once per year that they test the system on and that will let us know we are good to go.

I own a Mac Mini 2010 model that boots Haiku fine and I could explore the net using a ethernet dongle but not in the stock ethernet jack, but no sound.  Pretty useless as I want sound.

Anyway, the whole hit and miss nature of it drove me away for now and on Amiga as my alt OS fix.

Maybe one day they will lock onto a set platform that they at least work on making sure it works on and then if someone wants to tinker outside of that, cool, but I much prefer the route Amigadom has taken and has a aCube and Aeon for the OS to run on for sure.

But, give me a HaikuBox and I would be all over it like a bear on honey.

My same complaints about AROS, though I must admit that the same two machines that I'm able to successfully run AROS with, I can also run Haiku with. And actually from the hardware support list I saw, it appears that you are more likely to find hardware that Haiku will support than AROS, especially in the Wireless department.

Your best bet is to join the forums and report your issues with the Haiku team, they seem to be on top of things.


Yup, I did those things.  Just was getting tired of not being able to just get a system to work.

Tell me, is your system that runs Haiku and Aros a canned system or one you built?

For those lovers of BeOS, here are a couple fun links.

Computers or OS's with songs made about them are super cool.

Of course for Amiga we have "Only Amiga, makes everything possible", but for a lover of BeOS, these two links should bring a smile to your face.

Not only catchy but brings me back to mid 90s computing fun.

Here is a link to a page that has a # of BeOS songs.
