Re:This review was soooo bad Score: 2 , Insightful. Nero doesn't need a cue file like he claims. You just go to burn disk image, choose 'show all files', pick your ISO and let it rip.. I think the fact that he tried to burn two meg ISO files on the same CD shows his level of technical savvy.
I didnt even bother to read on. It would be like listening to a mentally challenged 3rd grader explain Shakespeare. Re:This review was soooo bad Score: 2. Score: 4 , Insightful. I am a fan of the BeOS of yore. I liked it more than I liked linux, though things have changed. But just where does the author get off calling himself 'I was deputy Linux champion'.
The guy can't spell, has worse grammar than me and doesn't understand why his winblows cd burning app cant fit two disks of binary data onto one cd!
So does this make me 'Certified Linux Champion'? No, but this guy's fud never should have made it to OSNews let alone slashdot. Re:Wait a second Heck, it took me about 10 seconds to explain to my non-technical grandfather the difference between writing files to a CD and a writing a file that contains a CD image to a CD.
And obviously you didn't actually understand what he said. There were 2 filesystem images. One was aboot image usually an image of a 2. So he did need to burn both to a disc in order to boot it. Doesn't FUD get slapped onto the front page of slashdot more than anything?
Except dupes, that is Re:fyi Score: 3 , Informative. Complete with outdated drivers and utilities Not documented officially, but it works quite well. Paying any money for BeOS Pro is being ripped off. The bonuses it once gave are nullified by the negatives of its age. Max and Developer Edition have done a good job of extendending the life of the OS through third party applications, extensions, and replacements. It is a good hold over until a reimplementation is complete.
I'll be the first to say that extending the closed-source release can only go so far, but it is a very good holdover until a complete solution comes along. Re:whose fault? Apple would have stiffled it, like Palm has. They wouldn't have stolen much from it, and wouldn't have developed it, probably. Sure they would. What the hell is the status of BeOS? Score: 4 , Interesting. I keep seeing stuff about new BeOS variants on the street, but the most "official" thing I have heard is that Palm owns it.
What gives. Are these rouge distros or what? Are they legal? Is there any reason to belive that Palm won't pull the plug on any variants out there at any given time? I'm sincerly trying to understand the situation. Links are appricated.
Re:What the hell is the status of BeOS? Score: 5 , Informative. They are in violation of the EULA that comes with the Personal Edition, but, since they are not making the people distributing them any money, i imagine Palm, or the remnants of Be, Inc. It's Free.
Not Free as in Beer, nor Free as in Speech. But Free as in 'not worth Jack-Shit'. BlueEyedOS B. Unfortunately they don't say anything about how complete the userinterface is. Wrong, it requires that you are smart enough to burn a boot image and a disk image to a cd to be able to do a full install. No BeOS Developer Edition has been out for a long time basically since palm bought be and be stopped hosting the downloads for pe and making updates , Max Edition is basically the same thing the free version of BePE plus some updates done by another group.
All said and done, I think the developers of BeOS did a really great job. I recent got the chance to go over the Be File System BeFS for class and was amazed by what they did in a short amount of time less than a year. If you want to look at a short presentation on the file system, you can grab it in ppt from here [cmu. New MS filesystem to be Be-like Windows will have a new filesystem within the next few years that's very similar to the Be filesystem, sort of like a database to speed up searches, and with journaling, etc.
I've heard that it was, in fact, Be-inspired. Another Distro Score: 3 , Informative. You might also want to try BeOS Max 2.
Help me out, please Score: 2 , Interesting. Can anyone briefly tell me what is great about BeOS? I so want to like this OS, but when I installed it, it didn't strike me as more usable, faster, or anything. A brief list of what its users really like about it as opposed to the billions of desktops Windows, all the linux ones, OSX might be beneficial to more than just me.
I guess what I am asking is, where should I be looking for the greatness, or even novelty. Re:Help me out, please Score: 5 , Informative. I really liked Boot-up speed. Turn PC on, wait for HDs to spin up, tap toes for three seconds, start doing things. World's best mp3 player bar none. Shareware yes, but it really IS worth the money for once. Ease of use. I have never come across a network setup that was as easy as BeOS's.
Enter hostname, enter domain name, check DHCP box, click apply, start the browser. Didn't like: Hardware compatability. If you can't get drivers check the Hardware Matrix [frizbe. Lack of apps. My needs are basic so it did all I needed it to, but not all I wanted it to. Still kicks arse. And I still use it a couple of times a week. Give it a spin, see how you like it. Re:Help me out, please Score: 2. When did you try it?
I doubt it'd be very impressive on todays hardware Given that BeOS code ran fast on relatively slow hardware, it stands to reason that it would run like a bat out of hell on modern pumped-up hardware.
Outdated Score: 2. Could this OS B any more outdated? Or Maybe, I could B a little Kornier! This is it! If half of the Open-Source proponents out there really wanted to "make a difference" Open BeOS would be the project theyd be contributing to. I love Linux, love Open Source and all it stands for, but I'm sorry to say, it will never be able to deliver an elegant desktop sulution.
Regardless of whether it could ever find mainstream acceptance it not the point. Sure, no driver support, and nothing but half-assed apps to play around with, but still. The OS achieves a kind of balance, "perfection" if you will In case you've not noticed, you've just described Mac OS X. It's far more robust than what you're looking at with OBeOS. Comment removed Score: 5 , Insightful. Comment removed based on user account deletion. Lets just get this out of the way. This is flamebait, pure and simple.
No hardware support. Little software. Proto usefulness, if that. Now what do we have? Linux is THE open source solution. It has come a long way. No one needs or wants some faceless pussy ranting about how their labor of love is irrevelent. Mod away, kids. I guess you could think of it as os X on pc? The only real pitfall was the lack-o-software and poor hardware support..
Does BeOS have any Avid application ported to it? Does it have anything that comes even remotely close? For a so-called "media OS", it is sorely lacking in the department it was supposed to favor From the get go???
Where are your big commercial applications again? I'm still waaaaiting Just blame it on the other guy Score: 2. After all, BeOS's failure had absolutely nothing to do with it's lack of commercial viability or hardware support.
I too am at a loss to describe any existing problem which BeOS solves. How about decent file typing? MacOS had pretty good file types, but Apple seems to be discouraging it's use in favor of the lowest common denominator: file extensions. Which are frankly, crap. Linux is probably at the bottom of the heap here. Both Gnome and KDE are starting to maintain their own databases of this stuff, which is pointless because this should be a common service OS-wide.
But there isn't any standard way to do that on Linux. As a result, different applications do different things when I click on a link. I want a Konq window to open, but there isn't any way for me to tell Evolution that. It insists on opening a Mozilla window. I'm sure eventually this will get solved on Linux, but BeOS was handling this problem quite well five years ago.
It isn't rocket science, in fact it's pretty simple. Another example is file metadata. What's more, you could have the filesystem index them to allow you to do quick searches on them. Plus the Tracker allowed you to specify what attributes you wanted to have displayed in folder windows. You didn't have to look at the file name and size if you didn't want to. You could view only custom metadata. This works great for audio files. The developers standarized on a set of attributes which all the major MP3 applications use.
So all of my MP3 well, Ogg actually files have the artist, album, track, etc saved as metadata. The Tracker can be told to only display those attributes, if you want. Plus the OS can search on them. I've got a ripper thats adds the attributes when I rip a CD. I've got a file viewer, the Tracker, which lets me sift thru my collection looking at the relevant metadata. And I've got a player which lets me add file, folders, and arbitrary metadata queries to playlists.
Unfortunately, having my jukebox based on a dead OS is getting to be a drag for other reasons. Furthermore, it can also find the cover image in the album directory and copy a thumbnail of it into the album directory's icon.
It is set in a Sci-Fi universe dominated by deviant computer AIs and features a well thought-out plot. This is a version of the classic Tetris game, but with a twist related to gravity and block colors. This is a driver for AMD64's processors.
This driver enable PowerNow! The included source code handles both Intel and PowerPC builds. This is analog 4, compiled for BeOS. It analyzes log files from web servers in just about every way possible. Animator is a small animation tool. Using Animator is really easy. Example : Drop file1. Drop file2. Drop file3. Set delay to "0. Then choose Animate.
