Haiku OS

[duplika]

whats the name of this song?

[khoraski]

damnit my wifi card is incompatible!

[Ograws]

Does this OS have driver problems?

[nSalekz]

There's 2 things I like about Haiku OS.

1) Logo,

2) OS name

[BeamingSplendor]

dude you need a memory upgrade. you have a very good processor but low memory.

[superbran2008]

looks like windows 95/98 feel like it 2 i have this os on an old lap top and it works fine

[131x]

Song?

[HerrKnitler]

I didn't like the window borders at first but now I see that when a window is maximised it doesn't hide the menu. Really cool. BUT!! What would be a cool feauture is if the window borders arrange themselves like tabs when they are maximised!

[semco72057]

I have used BeOS on one computer and if the OS will run the BeOS software and has drivers for modern printers then I would be interested in it. Be didn't have many drivers for printers which hurt it, and a few other problems also.

[Lewis1711]

I can't tell whether I want to dance or install a new operating system

[dragoro7]

Why is it playing rave music to someone opening folders?

[subcyber]

What are you really showing in this video? opening help screens? i´d like to see mp3 playing, high res video streaming (mkv playback) and internet. what i would need for an htpc application. if HAIKU could hanlde that, it would be a perfect OS for multimedia PCs...

[XD65]

Was this developed by Windows?

[bajer111]

what is the specs of the computer it is running on?

[iszalgocomin]

IE was the best browser back in the day, or maybe its the fact that it was the only one we could get at the time

[staticfive]

Wow.... WHAT is the point of this OS? It's atrociously ugly and slow. In their "Why not Linux?" section of their website, they say the purpose of making a unified OS is because of its speed--welp, mission fucking failed guys. Go install Ubuntu and call it a day.

[MrShoy]

@staticfive If you never tried BeOs you don't know why they they want to make haiku.

[staticfive]

@MrShoy I haven't... but I don't see a need to when Linux can quickly and simply handle everything you need.... Is BeOS for integrated systems maybe??

[MrShoy]

@staticfive I know, and I love linux too for its potential..but BeOs was a good system..I don't know..it had something I wanted..at that time btw, I tried both linux and BeOs.. and I was just curious..

[ub3r2008]

@staticfive Well, Haiku OS is still in ALPHA. Is Ubuntu in alpha? O_o

[staticfive]

@ub3r2008 No... but it IS useful, practical, and has actually made measurable progress since 2002.

[13jonny89]

please tell me the name of the song!. it rocks!!!!

[thearchiveable]

i loved BEOS 5!

[semco72057]

It is a revamped BeOS, and I hope the company has worked more in correcting the crashes which plagued BeOS 5 which I still have a CD and Bible of. I also hope that they have the drivers for the modern printers which BeOS didn't have. If you didn't have one of the limited drivers with BeOS 5 you was out of luck unless you was a programmer who could write their own.

[Luiji99]

Haiku now has a native web browser, rejoice!

[Luiji99]

@commentsfromlauren This isn't a Google OS nor does it have anything to do with Linux.

[zederish]

looks like windows 95 with a lil better graphics

[decozart]

Booo! I wanted to learn something about Haiku. Not watch a random click-through and hear some goofy music. Seriously, Bon Echo? Isn't that the browser on DSL that only works with Flash 7?

[SepradistPhantom]

True, it's got potential. But it's very much a blast from the past. While some people like this i'd hope v1 is a lot more user friendly.

How does this stack up speed wise against say... Tiny Core? Or Slitaz? Or DSL?

[CrewRite]

I think Haiku and React have potential.

The name Haiku could change to a name that's more simple to remember.

BeOs was easy to remember.

Just wish they would get out of Alpha.

Their definitely better than any Linux or Unix, I've seen.

[pizo56]

@CrewRite I would not go that far, however, they are coming along nicley, and I use mainly linux, but haiku is on a few of my work stations. Linux and all open source is the only way to compute!

[vbobkovsky]

NetSurf is already ported on Haiku (but needs some polishing work). New WebKit/Chromium based browser project which is on GSoC this year, looks like major breakthrough. Mozilla is even slower on Haiku in compare to Linux, Vista and OSX (that is including shitty optimization).

[wfox]

"IE8 is not fast on any computer".

My PC is a exception.

[cyborgtroy]

It might be fast, but I would not consider its performance to be worth the lack of features.

[MonosodicGlutamate]

@wfox

Me too

[spaceball2k]

Thank you for this video. Haiku need a native web browser ASAP, bezilla is so damn slow!

[pewusoft]

Yeah, I must agree with you. But it's almost identical to Firefox, which is the slowest browser except Internet Explorer, so it's obvious that BeZilla is "not-so-fast".

[wfox]

Actually, IE is more fast than FF.

I hope the best for Haiku, it seems to be the open source OS we need.

[pewusoft]

IE? I bet you haven't used IE7 or (slow as hell!) 8 yet. You may be talking 'bout IE6, which is faster than FF, but it even doesn't manage to show png's with transparency properly, not to mention about standards compliance.

[wfox]

IE8 is fastest on my PC.

Anyway, I use Opera.

[pewusoft]

IE8 is not fast on any computer. Opera? Good choice ;)

[RambleFest09]

@pewusoft Opera is shit. Firefox/Chrome ftw.

[mrHckyfan]

@RambleFest09

Palemoon/FF >> all

[13jonny89]

@wfox IE sucks men hahaha!. Well it has been a year since your post.

[pizo56]

@pewusoft good call. I think if we are all techys, and looking at this page, its safe to say most of us generally have a strong hatred for M$. An we L0ve the open source community. 1

[dragossh08]

Actually BeZilla is quite fast even under VMware, but only if it's running on BeOS or ZETA. I don't know how well it runs on a Haiku native installation though.

[fennecfanatic]

@spaceball2k There is a WebKit browser project for Haiku that was progressing nicely last I heard. The developer was on FLOSS Weekly on the TWiT network a while back.

[commentsfromlauren]

@spaceball2k Looks kind of... unofficial. But, eh, that's beta for you. Also, if this is a google operating system, shouldn't the default browser be chrome? AND, is this a form of Linux, because, It would be a huge hassle for downloads to add another operating system to the list of download options.
