BeOS For Linux

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the making-things-pretty dept.

Bob Gortician writes "The BlueOS guys have posted a few screenshots of their progress in porting the BeOS interface to Linux. Note that this is an intermediary step toward a BeOS clone OS. " I actually had a Be machine for a while, and played with it - nice OS, and well thought out, just a problem of very little applications for it.

    My bad. A BeOS story got posted soon after the paid Slashdot story and I replied to the BeOS story instead. Totally my fault. There goes my karma! Anyways, the correct posting is here. It's most definitely on-topic there. Please read it!

    Microsoft did intimidate OEM s into not loading BeOS together with windows under the treat of loosing their OEM licenses.

    I do not believe OEMs would feel terribly threatened at the prospect of Microsoft relaxing their OEM licenses. On the other hand, they would undoubtedly be annoyed by the threat of failing to receive their licenses. I believe the word you were looking for is losing.

    Congratulations! You have been participant #40 in my campaign to rid Slashdot of this error.
