OK this is soo annoying! BEOS IS NOT BASED ON ANY UNIX LINUS BSD IRIX OR ANY OTHER UNIX CLONE. It is merely posix compatible (not completely compliant, however) meaning that it can run many unix applications. it however is in no way related to *unix. please tell me where you people are digging up this lie so I can tell the purveyer of this information to stop.
BeOS!!! by the way BeOS rocks I used Suse for five months and BeOS rocks way more. It's faster. And POSIX complient just like linux. any posix command line app can be used on BeOS

Sorry but I must use a M$ quote, "where do you want to go today?" What do you mean that BeOS isn't customizeable. SHow me what you can do in linux (short of customizing the kernel) and I can do it in Be
"due to its reliance on an ATAPI CD-ROM drive for installation, which I just plain old don't use around here." I installed BeOS with a SCSI CD-ROM. I suspect you haven't read the hardware support lists since R3, it includes the more popular adaptec SCSI boards now.
