Hi.
In case you didn’t notice, the Haiku project just announced their first Alpha:
Haiku Project Announces Availability of Haiku R1/Alpha 1 | Haiku Project
Haiku Project Announces Availability of Haiku R1/Alpha 1 | H
That’s cool. Anyone tried it yet? I haven’t…
Also I noticed that this release comes approx 8 years after the project was started. Compared to Linux development (even earlier one), that’s pretty slow

It showed up on one of my Linux Format DVDs a couple months ago; I
remember looking at it as BeOS before.
It’s fast, but one thing I noticed with the version included on my LXF
disc was that it was missing something rather important - don’t recall
now if it was a browser or something like that.
As such, I couldn’t do very much with it.

The latest build should have everything you need, including a …rather
dated but works…browser. FWIW, there is a project to create a Haiku
native browser based on WebKit.
Yes development is slow because the team and the community is very small in
comparison to Linux.

Cool, thanks for that info - I’ll have to check it out. I really liked
the boot speed in BeOS, though it isn’t that significant when the system
just runs.

I was always impressed by its media processing speed.
Try opening like 20 windows running GL Teapot.

Yeah, that was an impressive test to run as well.
