stock features of haiku

Forum thread started by admin on Thu, 2005-05-12 00:13

Hi,

I firmly believe that Internet technologies belong at the heart of any modern operating system, and that they should work straight out of the box with little or no setup required.

What 'stock' features does Haiku have to support IM/E-mail/WWW (client|server) ?

Thanks for your replies :)

email client will be included, however nothings been publically decided on the rest. The intention is NOT to become an OS with every damn bit of software around included, like a Linux distro or Zeta is; but just an OS.

It will certainly be there for R1. A guy called David Enderton (sp?) was writing it from scratch, check the netteam archives. It's possible that it will also just get ported from BSD or something if a more recent BSD netstack gets ported. The netteam is currently almost silent though, they're very short on manpower at the moment.
