Haiku WiFi has a longer range than Windows WiFi

Forum thread started by crazeycraig on Thu, 2013-01-17 10:11

All the WiFi signals that arent locked in my general area on Windows are too weak to connect to because they are slightly out of range on here. (Not that I don't have my own wireless router), but on Haiku I now have more options to connect to an unlocked router if say my router goes down.Lol. Great job guys. Every day I love this system more and more.

Haiku on Amiga aCube PPC based system rather than Intel based?

Forum thread started by macsociety on Wed, 2013-01-16 19:20

Have been reading late last year someone in France I think it was working to make Haiku run on a Amiga based system from aCube. I believe the aCube systems are PPC based.

Since I am a fan of Amiga and like the idea of a known system that Haiku will run on, will there be any limitations to running Haiku on a PPC based system versus a Intel based system?

By limitation I mean available software downloadable from Haikuware, will those apps run on both Intel and aCube based Haiku system or easy for an end-user to take the intel application and make it run on the aCube PPC system?

Or does each Intel based app need to be updated to work on PPC also so even if they do get Haiku running on aCube, their will be less apps to run on it since all are made for Intel these days?

Just curious if I end up getting an aCube system one day that I will not have as much available to me since most support is for Intel Haiku.

Thanks

Dual boot windows 8 and Haiku

Forum thread started by Eddy on Tue, 2013-01-15 08:56

Hi,

Did anyone ever install a dual boot Haiku with windows 8 and if so what is the procedure to do it?
Now that Haiku is booting on my computer I want to try it at full speed instead of VMWare.
My main partition is a Windows 8, no problem to shrink it and have 50 GB of free space for Haiku.

Regards,

Eddy

All,

Most interesting, an alternative to the chaos of Linux. A fresh start is what the open source world needs. But I can't find much 'overview' or FAQ information about a few questions I have:

-What language is Haiku written in?
-How (dis)similar is it to Linux?
-Is multiple monitor support there yet? If 'yes', then I'll be giving it a try, that's for sure. I'd like to contribute to the right project as well.

quirky USB a problem for all computers in Haiku?

Forum thread started by kp3ft on Thu, 2013-01-10 20:43

Would like a fairly modern motherboard to run Haiku on, that will accept Core2 processors, but it can't have quirky USB problems. My present Core2 mb (DFI) won't allow USB flashdrives to read/write consistently. The motherboard hardware list on HaikuWare isn't specific enough to show what has problems and what doesn't. Is anyone running a specific Core2 (or newer) desktop or laptop that doesn't have USB problems, or any other problems that crash Haiku?

auto-reboot option for Haiku?

Forum thread started by kp3ft on Thu, 2013-01-10 13:21

Sometimes upon a power failure or just normal shutdown/restart, Haiku gives a choice of booting in safe-mode, etc. Is there any way to change settings so it automatically boots in normal mode every time? We run it as our radio station's automation computer, and we can't have long periods of "dead air" because Haiku is waiting for input on boot choices if it reboots after power failures.
