<< There were hardly any apps I could use, and well, I actually didn't see any reason to use it any longer. At that time I had BeOS PE installed alongside Win98 and SuSe Linux. >>
That I believe is the one thing users missed out on, when in fact there are many apps for Be, maybe not at Best Buy in the software section in a box but they are out there. I mean pretty much everything that you may need is or was there. Linux apps are sometimes few and far between too, that doesn't keep it from being a great OS. Remeber BeOS was designed from the ground up as a media OS, it wasn't intended to compete with Windows as far as the desktop OS market goes but for what it does Be blows Windows away, Microsoft should take notes. Check the links at the bottom of my post and you will probably be surprised at the apps that are out there and most are free and or open source. If you are looking for anything else LMK and I may know where to find it.
<< OK, I'm at home now and I just installed it. GeForce2 GTS wasn't supported out of the box, but I found a driver. It looks pretty nice in color. Not as good as 2000/XP or a nicely configured KDE, but it still looks decent. The browser that comes with it sucks though. I'm downloading some Mozilla port right now, I'll see how that goes. I'm going to screw around with a bit and see how it goes, but since there isn't much I can do with it, it won't go past that. Neat to try it out though. >>
Can't do much with it? What do you want it to do, see above post and go to that link I posted. As far as a browser Mozilla is good in Be, also try Opera, it is great in Be too.
