You are going to struggle to get BeOS to run on any modern sort of hardware. Haiku is the only realistic option now.

Hi Gnome,

Michel is correct. BeOS has no drivers for modern PCs. If you want to run BeOS you need an old PC or VMWare.

YellowTab was never stable even on good hardware.

What is it you are trying to accomplish?

I've got BeOS R5.0.3 running in VirtualBox. See http://web.ncf.ca/au829/WeekendReports/20130309.html for details.

Have been runing the latest nightlys as my only os for three-four years now and been happy with(Of course there is some bug coming and going).

So i say: Download the latest nightly build and give it a try:
