and write an OpenGL app which puts multiple videos on the panes of multiple rotating truncated icosahedrons a la the old famous BeOS rotating OpenGL cube app from years ago.
Yoper works. That's the key thing. I've been a Mandrake fan for a while, but in Mandrake 10, which i paid for, Totem doesnt work, streaming audio is flaky and videos only work in X-Movie (i think, i forgot its name now i no longer use mandrake).
All of my hardware is detected and works. And it's damn fast too. Noticably faster. Measurably faster.

fantastic. Get it via the BitTorrent which is extremely quick. cheers peter
hey mr peppler, (or should i say mr SybPerl;p ) i use 11.9.2 on linux and it works very well.
i have millions of rows of stock market historical data and even on a PIII 500 with 256mb RAM it is quick - but it's a well designed schema...and yes i use SybPerl:)
generally two developers shouldnt be modifying the same function or even the same file, but if you use cvs properly then you can be notified via email if someone else checks out a version of the file you are working on. cvs watch does this, look it up in the manual.
Then all you do is contact the person and ask them what they are doing. It's all about communication and good project management. cheers peter
it's on my PC and hundreds of thousands of other peoples' PCs. BeOS will not go away. It has a few new guises now and for fucks sake OpenBeOS has ALREADY released a point release....i mean how quick was that?
Head on over to http://www.openbeos.org/ and join up to code or participate in the new revolution.....Open Source software that people can easily use without "patching the kernel" or recompiling drivers.....man Joe Public can not do that. In BeOS/OpenBeOS you just download your driver and run up the installation package. Easy peezy, lemon Squeezy.
Reboot? i looked that up in my PC glossary (i had to look that up too) and there were photos of various Windows releases and Linux as well.
Welcome to the real world. Welcome to OpenBeos. cheers peter
no apps? where the fsck did you look? there's thousands of apps. that comment of yours is just flamebait you troll.
BeOS is the best OS i have ever used. Yes i use Linux. Yes i use Solaris everyday and yes i have to use Windows NT/2000 where i work but BeOS?: It is getting better every day. I even installed BeOS where i work because it allowed me to be more porductive and resourceful and i even solved a problem for them doing a Proof of Concept on BeOS and using the same code (with slight mods) on Solaris
Time to update your Be icon to OpenBeOS because OpenBeOS is going to roll all over you guys. BlueOS is with us as is BeUnited.
This is a great project to be involved with, very friendly and very democratic.
BeOS isn't dead yet. The community is one of the friendliest i've ever been associated with and apps and drivers are constantly being released on BeBits
BeUnitedis heading up the initiative to license BeOS from Palm and if that doesn't succeed then OpenBeOS will be the primary focus of the BeOS developer community.
Once you've tried BeOS it's very difficult to go back to another OS. Yes i use Linux on one of my servers and am very happy with it, but i have two other PCs running BeOS and an old PowerPC running MacOS (slow slow slow).
BeOS is my OS of choice. I can connect to Sybase or MS SQL Server databases, PostgreSQL databases, run Apache etc etc etc.
Checkout BeOS, BeBits and BeGroovy. And checkout exactly what BeOS can do for you.
if you use BeOS you can mount the CD and have the wave files there in front of you as part of the cdda file system.
this takes minimal time - right click the BeOS desktop, click Mount from the menu and choose the volume you want to mount. beats waiting the 20 minutes you say you have to wait.
so then all you have to do is copy the wave files over to your Sun machine and encode away.
why do you call it a newbie distro? no really i would like to know!!
i bought a Linux distribution with most of the flavours:
slackware, debian, red hat and mandrake and the only one that would install without hardware recoginition problems was mandrake. so i installed it.
it's just a bog stock PIII 500 on a Gigabyte motherboard with IDE HDDs, an Intel Etherexpress Pro and a Soundblaster compatible card!!

at my own company in 1998/99 i was involved in an australian stock market (ASX) project. i had ASX equities history going back ten years in some cases and ASX options history going back a year as well as daily trading data (high, low, voulme, price, buyer, seller etc etc).
this data involved millions of rows and i had it all on a Pentium III 500 with 128mb RAM using Sybase 11.9.2 for Linux. Sybase on Linux is rock solid and i would have no hesitation in recommending it.
The performance was good because the database was designed well and the indexes were optimised for the most common queries. The only issue was/is disk space which was/is easily remedied.
I also did a proof of concept using PostgreSQL 7.1.3 on Linux and also on BeOS BONE by importing one of the bigger tables (3.2 million rows) into PostgreSQL with and without indexes set and querying with and without indexes. I'm pleased to say that both platforms performed well i used the same datafiles used to build the Sybase tables.
You might be interested to know that is very easy to have PostgreSQL databases on different devices if performance (ie device contention) is an issue.
dunno about the minimal software base... BeBits still gets heaps of new and updated apps released and initiatives like OpenBeOS and BeUnited will ensure that this OS will not die.
BeOS is not dead yet. Anyone that has ever used BeOS with BONE will agree that the network performance is very fast and stable compared to the net_Server, although my uptime on R5 and net_server (the "non-BONE" stack) was usually more reliable than Windows. ( check this out )
We have some of the best audio tools out there, Apache, X, PostgreSQL, Mozilla, etc etc and the BeOS API is soooo nice and clean to program in.
I wish the OpenBeOS guys the best of luck. They will get a lot of support as BeOS is just too good to let die.

I purchased it for BeOS and use it all the time. It is fantastic.

Also, we have AbiWord which works fine:

BeOS on it would really annoy Microsoft.
from the hardware spces looks like BeOS would work fine on it.
