  1. Better than xubuntu by fishthegeek · · Score: 3, Informative · on Will Pervasive Multithreading Make a Comeback?

    for older (p2 & p3) laptops. I have the opportunity several times a year to receive old laptops to use to teach my students with. Whenever I need to I use Beos Max on the machines and it is just amazing to watch how effecient and responsive Beos really is.

    Check out Beos Max

    Beos is still a lot of fun on older hardware.

  2. Re:*Sigh* Where are you BeOS? by craqboy · · Score: 4, Interesting · on Syllable - The Little OS with a Big Future?

    there are many different Beos opertating systems that have tried to pick up where Be left off. I just installed BeOS Max last week and love it. I have my tv tuner card working with firefox and some other stuff. I never thought an OS would run as good on the lil pentium 200 with 256 Mb of ram.

  4. Goodness Gracious!!! by kelzer · · Score: 1 · on BeOS Max Edition v3.0 Released

    Could the BeosMax website be any harder on the eyes?

    Remember when BeOS was for Macs, whose users tend to be artistic? Guess that's not the case now that it's an Intel OS, eh?

  5. If you've got machine(s) better than 486 - BeOS! by teamhasnoi · · Score: 1 · on Build a Multi-Output MP3 Server?
    You could install BeOS personal edition (coexists with Windows or Linux), or if you're a 'no-Windows' house, MiniMax(full install) Then, install Be in your Stereo w/ RobinHood It's a HTTP server for mp3s and the like.

    If you have an Athlon or pentium 4 - use the new BeOSMax V3 (Direct download). It's got pretty much the newest drivers for BeOS, supporting much more than the personal edition. If you've got a pentium and install Max or MiniMax, use the old Gif Translator (not 1.3, there's an incompatabillity there.)

    I'm guessing that you could run multiple instances of Be In Your Sterio on different ports (8080,8081...) and stream to all your other machines. If you've got bottom of the barrel pentiums, BeOS rocks on those. They should be able to play mp3s fine. 120mhz, 64(ok 32??) Ram, and a 500meg harddrive should do for the clients(don't quote me - it's been awhile since I looked). Check out this page for more links and tips.. I'm sure you could find something else on BeBits that would fit the bill.

    BeOS will let you play about a thousand mp3s at the same time with no skipping, it's got gerbil crack in it or something...
