    I made a wallpaper awhile back with the new logo. You can get it here. It's blatantly similar to the new website. :)

    R1 come quite soon
    New name, to prevent the theft
    of Palm's bought IP

    In other words, a .BFS i386 install disc is coming soon, (I asked the OpenBeOS IRC people, and they kinda looked at me funny when I asked for any isos, since BeOS doesn't support that), but R1 will support i386 only, then R2 will hopefully support more architectures. I'm not with the Haiku people, so YMMV.

    Palm bought out Be's IP, so the name "BeOS" belongs to them, hence the need to switch to "Haiku".

    Its actually a pretty nice name.

    On sourceforge of course OpenBeOS / Haiku's sourceforge project. There's plenty of it.

    There's no install disk yet though.
