But Beos-6 (I think 5 was last official release, one I purchased was 4.5) is nothing to happen anyday soon. so it's a lot like AmigaOS4. So IMHO it's only fair to warn Jaruzel about this in case there is a need for having stable and supported Os right now.
I guess you've never heard of
YellowTab.
They are writing what is in effect BeOS R6 (using the original source). Looks like it'll be out in a few months.
There are also many BeOS or BeOS-like clones under development such as OpenBeOS, B.E.OS, Cosmo, FreeBE etc...
Beos is nice personal OS.. Imho the best ever X86 I have used (dos, windowses, linuxes, Os/2...) but. Today.. well.. worth testing still, it'll may one day make comeback.
It was the fact it was so Amiga-like that I got into it. Fast, good multitasking but it had stuff the Amiga needed like memory protection and a very good OO API. It also had stuff like a 64 bit file system and file attributes long before any other consumer OS.
So, it's not as "dead" as you may think.
..and yes I hope to get Zeta onto the Pegasos at some point.
