This video briefly shows Haiku running on a Fujitsu Lifebook U810. The video was taken at the Haiku booth during the OSCON 2009 Conference, held in San Jose, California. We were all pretty amazed at how well Haiku ran on this little device booting from USB stick.

  • @mlanovoy Haiku even if it is alpha already looks a lot better than any linux distro I've tested.

  • Wow you are really a TROLL

  • linux was an os without software at beginning, this is the normal life cycle of each and every os

    as regards haiku it is very stable for an alpha

    I'd like linux would have the same development cycle

  • yes it worked but slow

  • @skypeia80

    And which OEMs are going to install this shit? lol For embedded devices there is special versions of Linux which are much better simply because they are not some 0.01 beta version and because there is tons of software written.

    OS without software - dead OS.

  • @skypeia80 You remember wrong and most likely confusing with Windows ME which was last of 9x series. 2k and XP were very well polished OS's. Of course they had bugs upon release just like any OS but I personally had NO problems running XP back then. Using Office wasn't slow at all unless you open very large documents which would case swapping to HDD. VC++ 6 worked fine too. Not as fast as on modern PCs ofc but about as good as on W2k and certainly better than on W98.

  • mmm I remember that xp had a lot of bugs and was very bloated. The SP1 made the thing worse, the SP2 made xp reasonably fast but on machine with some gigahertz and more. I tried it on a P3 650Mhz and it booted yes, opened the explorer, the calculator and notepad too, but seriously using office or dev studio was orribly slow.

    It seems Haiku won't die, because now MS is under scrutiny by the DOJ and cannot impose to OEMs to not preinstall Haiku as they did during the BeOS days

  • @skypeia80 What do you mean by "do nothing"? I was WORKING on PC with 400MHz CPU and XP installed. Was doing my work and never complained.

    Stop spinning and twisting my words dude.

    Anyways, where is this Haiku nowadays? It will die just as fast as BeOS had.

  • yes you're right

    xp runs on a pentium 400mhz but it just boots up and do nothing

    xp works well on 1ghz processors ( single core ) and up....I had a lot of machines, an old 650mhz pentium 3 among others, but xp worked well only on my athlon xp 1.6ghz

  • That depends on how you describe usable. When XP just came out I had upgraded from W98 and it in fact was running smooth on a 400 MHz CPU. Of course if you try to run modern software it won't be as good but Office XP and even AutoCAD were running smooth by the measures of those days.
