BeOS Max Edition v3.0 Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the eternal-flame dept.

JigSaw writes "After Be went down, 2-3 "distros" of BeOS 5 PE (the free version of BeOS) were created and continued making releases by literally tweaking the internals, patching the kernel etc. in order to bring BeOS up to speed with new hardware. Additionally, these distros include lots of third party software. BeOS Max Edition is the most popular of the bunch, and version v3.0 came out today. The BFS ISO installs in its own BFS partition, however it requires a bit of attention in the way you have to burn it."

    Like many things favored around this public forum it just never got off the ground. Slashdot should consider registering the name "underdogs.org". That is just how I feel about all of this lately. M$FT won.

    I am amazed that this is the first goatse.cx troll I have seen that actually made it to the front page.

    Timothy, did you even click the link before deciding that it was worthy for the rest of us?
