BeOS Max Edition v3.0 Released

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."

Burning it...

What? You can only burn it in the night of February 29/March 1 when it's a full moon, the CD is plated with mithril, the burner in sanctified with the blood of a virgin and Duke Nukem Forever is released? When you burn it, might it cause a rip in time or a quantum instability?

Man, BeOS is some scary stuff. I can imagine reading about it in the newspaper already... "Kid installs BeOS, blows up universe. God sues for damages."

Well, at least the virgin blood should be easy to come by here on Slashdot.

They usually mean female virgins when they say that.

At least on Mac IE, the dark background tile loads well after the electric blue and canary yellow text. It's still hideous but not actively dangerous. You may not have noticed if you instantly closed the page to shield your eyes from the yellow-on-white initial rendering.

Fortunately, a few years of clicking Slashdot links develops one's window closing reflexes to a superhuman level.

BTW, I like the "Informative" you got...

jeeeeeez.....

for a group that works with one of the nicest looking operating systems ever, they've really produced a horrible website. my "nice" guess is that they're either colorblind, or a group of teenagers who still lament the loss of the tag (or both).

Damn straight. From this day forth, any who claim that $LINUX_DESKTOP is just too ugly, will be required to use BeOS Max Edition.
