iLux Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I really loved BeOS, and hope Haiku will be out soon. Plan 9 is, as other people said, a real good geeky OS. i don't really like rio and the strange things you have to do with (right-click to scroll down, left-click to scroll up, etc…) but the all-network/all-file thing is really great. I hope some company will leave UNIX for Plan 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhsh8r Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Um, noThis is from the yellowtab site: "22. May 2006 Magnussoft now worldwide distributor of ZETA A new distribution partner for the alternative operating system ZETA OS has been announced. The worldwide distribution rights for the ambitious Operating system have been granted to Magnussoft Germany. This also means that the continuation and future of operating system ZETA, despite the problems of yellowTAB GmbH, has now been secured." Magnussoft is porting games to Zeta, how is that possibly the death of Zeta? oh, i wonderd why yellow tab would still be selling it if they did not have the rights to it anymore.... good thing that its going to be continued! oh, and visopsis looks interesting, i might just give that a shot...... max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overdriven Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Bah if you want a good BeOS, use R5, as you can run all BeOS stuff pretty much. Zeta is based on BeOS Dano, which is highly unstable and contains BONE. Haiku will break compatability on its R2 release coined "Glass Elevator". There is a BeOS update called BONE (BeOS Networking Envirenment), but it replaces the networking stack and can be incompatible. -Hope this helps if you get interested with Be . -Neospy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluedragon1971 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Windows Fundamentals.... its a vlk only copy of xp sp2 that is stripped down to the bare minimals but still retains full functionality!max Yep, running it now. I see this becoming the OS of choice since Microsoft seems intent on locking down regular "Corp" versions as much as possible. For some reason, they don't seem to mind letting WinFLP pass WGA no matter what VLK key you use (even ones from keygens that wouldn't pass WGA with a regular VLK version of Windows XP). Now, of course my vote for best non-mainstream OS goes to Amiga Workbench, but thats just because it was the first GUI OS that I ever really used. It could do things in 1985 that Windows was still having trouble doing until Windows 2000 was released in 1999, and in 512KB of memory no less!! oh, i wonderd why yellow tab would still be selling it if they did not have the rights to it anymore.... Just because they granted distribution rights to another company doesn't mean that they can't also sell it themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant run more than a certain ammount of services and you cant install anysoftware on it tho.... its basicially just a dumb client... at least thats what the m$ website says... im gonna test it again today... .... well, they lied for some reasion..... oh, and ps, It is the fastest os i have ever run, and thats in vmware! Think of how fast it would go on a real hdd install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMX-Knuckles Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 SGI IRIX all the way. I've tried BSD on my PPC Macs and Debian and Gentoo on my PC's but I could never really get into it. I figure, PC's are made for Windows (or Mac OS X! ) and PPC Macs are made for OS 7.5.6. But IRIX has that great old-school UNIX feel- it really doesn't try to be mainstream. At all. Nothin like a R10k Indigo2 purring away at your feet while you beat on Firefox with the command line till it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
