Here you can talk about anything relating to Haiku.

Haiku License

Forum thread started by deavmi on Sat, 2015-06-27 18:25

What is the main license used for the Haiku OS code?

I watched a video online and saw it used the MIT license but also people have said that there is also some GPL licensed code in it (best license ever).

Curl / Netsurf

Forum thread started by ronald-scheckelhoff on Tue, 2015-06-16 12:53

I'm not sure who did the work to port the upgraded Netsurf-3.2 / cURL combo, but thanks! I checked the browser with https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient and the report is much improved. There are no 40 bit ciphers, DES, nor RC4. Great job!!!

It's a little strange that the SEED cipher has been added (I don't know anything about it). Maybe it's an upstream cURL change. CBC+TLS-1.0 is still listed as a problem, but overall it's a much better report. Thanks go out to whoever did the new port!

Saving old BeOS apps - Doom ports

Forum thread started by un_spacyar on Sun, 2015-06-14 22:22

Hello. I found several ports of Doom, Heretic and Hexen for BeOS, in this page:

Would be nice to keep them saved in our community. Personally, I had downloaded them, but not have a way to share them.

Thank you!

Compatible hardware list

Forum thread started by 33Nicolas on Sat, 2015-06-13 17:37

Hey everyone,

I was doing some preresearch for an eventual Hackintosh rig, when I decided to want to make it dual-boot Haiku. Hackintosh lists compatible hardware. Do we have a list of compatible hardware for Haiku?

A real BeOS and Be Inc museum! Need your help!

Forum thread started by caleb on Thu, 2015-06-11 04:02

It would be wonderful to make a public museum about BeOS and Be Inc, with a room (or rooms)
full of BeOS and Be Inc related stuff. Imagine a room full of computers running BeOS
(Bebox, Intel X86, PPC), every posible version of it (DR1-DR8, PR1-2, R3, R3.1, R3.2, R4, R4.5, R5),
executing all kind of software (audio, video, games, 3D, etc).

It could be in ANY city or town of the world, I was thinking maybe in a University,
High school or some public building which borrows a room or some place (no need to pay a rent),
which could be visited by everybody.

Im looking for anything related: Bebox, BeIA, original software, manuals,
magazines, intel compatible hardware, books, posters, t-shirts, photos from events,
compatible ppc computers, x86 SMP motherboards, stickers, geeklights projects, or whatever
you consider it would be nice to show at the museum.

If you have any of these things that you want to donate and collaborate with the museum,
please let me know through this post, telling where you are from. Suggestions about a place
where to build the museum are welcomed, maybe you know a place in your city which could be
posible to do it!

Maybe we can use the place in the future for events like BeGeistert or any BeOS/Haiku related
event (Bug/Hug meetings) and promote Haiku OS, too!

Thank you very much, I hope we can make it! :)
