    Disclaimer: this is my opinion & you don't have to agree with it. But please respect it as i do yours.

    Haiku is a very nice name for 2 reasons:
    1. It flows well
    2. is stands for a light weight form of poetry

    Light weight & flowing poetry are great things to associate w/ an OS in my opinion.

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

    There's no install disk yet though.
