  1. Re:Windows is required!!! on BeOS 5.0 Available for Free - But Not Yet · · Score: 3

    Scot Hacker, author of The BeOS Bible, had an article over at BeNews about a possible way around this. Worth investigating once the free version is actually available.

    Uhhh...if you want a CLI, just go to the BeOS main menu and choose "Applications...Terminal" and you've got a bash shell.

    And since I don't like bash, my BeOS terminal gives me zsh instead :)
