Hi All,
I very much loved BeOS and it is very a pity, that it is firm does not exist any more... But now there is Haiku, certainly now it still crude, but in due course IMHO it can replace and even to surpass by opportunities and productivity Be..

Haiku's relevance to the hacker community

Forum thread started by jer on Tue, 2006-11-21 05:38

Hello everyone.

I know I haven't contributed anything but one post to this community forum, and I apologize for my lack of involvement, however I wanted to get some opinions from everyone.

I’m looking at writing an article about the Haiku project (as well as Zeta and BeOS in general), aimed at the hacker community (and I assume everyone realizes what I mean by hacker -- not the malicious criminal types, but the technology enthusiast with great curiosity types, the 2600 Magazine crowd).

BeOS version history on Wikipedia?

Forum thread started by raynevandunem on Wed, 2006-11-15 19:49

I'm trying to add a version history of BeOS to the Wikipedia article, however, resources are lacking (even through Google). Then again, I find the whole Wikipedia article on BeOS to be lacking, especially in the overall features of BeOS.

PS3 port

Forum thread started by minator on Tue, 2006-11-14 12:35

Is anyone looking at the possibility of a PS3 port?

There are a number of reasons Haiku would be an ideal OS for the PS3.

Yellow Dog Linux will be available shortly and Gentoo is already planning a port, others will no doubt follow.

I just wanted to point peeps at Ohloh, it's a “resource for open source intelligence on thousands of open source projects. Ohloh collects software metrics from a variety of sources including the project’s source code and the software development infrastructure used by the project’s development team.”

[feature request] JACK port

I read here that

jackaudio.org wrote:
Stephane Letz at GRAME, of JackOSX and jackdmp (multi-processor jackd) fame, has been working on a Windows port of JACK (specifically, jackdmp), and reports early initial success. We apparently need a new ASIO backend, and there is much other work to be done, but the basics appear to work satisfactorily. The original author of JACK is preparing to eat hats, crow and his own left foot as payment for all the times he said it could not be done. Watch this space for more information as it happens.

Dual Core + latest hardware support

Forum thread started by ebykm on Fri, 2006-10-27 21:22

I was wondering if we'd see native support for Intel and AMD dual core and popular motherboards(i915, i945, etc) on any distro(haiku/zeta/whatever.....). Is anyone working on these ?.
