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."

  1. CDRTools Windows by jandrese · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Has anybody ever gotten CDRTools to work for Win2k or WinXP? I remember trying it out a few weeks ago and getting an instant bluescreen when I started it up. I was really hoping for a CD burner without all of the cruft found in the commercial packages (Nero is nice, but burns coasters on my machine, and Roxio suxio. Cdrtools and gcombust work perfectly under FreeBSD however)

    Wait isn't BeOS a SCO code derivative? isn't all the OS theory a SCO IP derivative?

    Subject: Be.com Domain

    You are receiving this e-mail because at some point in the past year you
    have expressed some credible interest in purchasing the be.com domain name.
    At that time we indicated that we were seeking an amount within the
    appraised range of U.S. $230,000.00 and U.S. $290,000.00. Because the
    appraisal was performed at a peak period of the market and economy, it is
    clear that Board should now be willing to consider offers below that range.

    The competitive offers that have been made to date have fallen within the
    U.S. $50,000.00 to U.S. $100,000.00 range. I am trying to determine if you
    are still interested in purchasing the domain name and, if so, requesting
    that you make a renewed bid at this time. I will take the highest bid back
    to the Board of Directors for approval with the intent of finally accepting
    that highest bid and completing the sale without taking the domain to a
    public auction.

    Let me know if you would like to make an offer under these new conditions.
