It's The End Of The Be As We Know It

JRAC writes "Be Inc. has replaced their web site's entire contents with information on the sale of Be to Palm. Stock holders can find all relevant info on the Stock Information page.

BeOS PE Improved Any?

[Splat]

Last time I downloaded BeOS personal edition, I was able to lockup the entire OS by issuing the "kill" command on any process, even the notepad app. Which led me to think, why put something like a kill command into the OS if it's going to go schitzo when I use it?

This was on a stock install of BeOS personal edition, on a machine with memory I tested that turned out perfect. Has BeOS been "fixed" since then? Any good community resource sites?

i ran xp for ~3 days as well. it wasnt that slow. the eye candy was fun to toy with at first, but then i realized that the os is s'posed to look like that and i would have to fight through a mac-esque environment in order to get any work done. that wonderfully bloated piece of crap was wiped off my machine quickly. I've never run kde on redhat...actually, ive never run kde...i dont like task bars...im an enlightenment kinda guy...tho with how ass redhat is, the slowness of it, the bulk, and the broken applications that come with it, I would be up for renaming it to redmond linux...cept that name is taken see? ... id agree with linux sucking your balls...esp if you thinking redhat is what linux is :) what a crappy distro that is...tho free bsd is right up there in my mind with redhat...but i cant argue...i have been hooked on be since 4.5...i was tear bound when I read that Be was no longer...so sad. but i have my be 5 prof, and i will continue to use it...my dualboot of openbsd/beos works just fine for me....
