    this whole slashdot thread is a form of "marketing"

  6. Re:the intent of the coders on OpenBeOs Developers Talk About Progress · · Score: 0

    the problem with linux is that there are too many projects instead of unifying. Instead of one good UI we have KDE vs GNOME. Instead of one good installation procedure, each distro has its own. Linux is very fragmented. Linux will never be unified but that is a good thing for that community because they like to work with many choices and tinker around with them. You can't force linuxers to drop GNOME for KDE. But the desktop arena demands standards and consistency. OpenBeOS is a top to bottom unified OS and also open source. It has a chance at taking over the desktop but it will take some patience

  7. Re:oh really??? on OpenBeOs Developers Talk About Progress · · Score: 0

    actually they are. that's why it is a top to bottom OS with all the features that made BeOS easy to use in the first place. Remember, OpenBeOS isn't just developers but also BeOS users, artists-the entire community is working on it.

    Our country reeks of trees
    Our yaks are really large
    And they smell like rotting beef carcasses
    And we have to clean up after them
    And our saddle sores are the best
    We proudly wear womens clothing
    And searing sand blows up our skirts
    And the buzzards they soar overhead
    And poisonous snakes will devour us whole
    Our bones will bleach in the sun
    And we will probably go to h---
    And that is our great reward
    For being the-uh ro-yal canadian kilted yaksmen!
