  1. The BeOS part by Tsk · · Score: 2

    Of the Three BeOS news related site ( beforever, beoscentral and benews) The one I prefer is the One run By Peter (first aforementionned one) because its the only with no ./ touch (its just plain simple, hand updated and when you send news and other announce to peter he usually responds personnaly.). The problem being with his site not being updated has frequently has the other ones. One last thing peter the guy being interviewed in the article is also a strong PowerPc supporter (which I also tend to be), eventhought Be Hasn't annonced officialy the death of PPC (I think Be should announce officially the death of PPC for the sake of the be community and because most PPC users are developers (which should mean partners), they should be officially informed os such decision.)

  2. I am a little suprised Linux wasn't in there by Rocket+Boy · · Score: 2

    I guess they were going for the truly "non-mainstream" OS'es. The article is pretty good. They got a lot of their info right. I would have to say "Good Job!"

  3. Positve Press about "other" OS's by Dr.+Banana · · Score: 2

    I am excited to start seeing other Operating Systems get a little bit of positive press. I for one am a big FreeBSD fan. It is nice to see that someone in the mass media can (for the most part) get their facts straight.
