  1. This should cause atleast two main benefits by BoxJockey · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The developing of a BeOS clone via this route may yield atleast the se two main benefits:
    * Linux and other *nix's will gain another easy to use, mature, comprehensive GUI.
    * BeOS will gain from more exposure and may get new development.

    This is a great way to continue this great product.
