  • Some more comments from a Haiku developer:

    - Yeah the lack of Wifi is a definite issue. We agree that Haiku would make a great netbook OS, and I personally have some plans to improve on that (some interface tweaks for example.)

    - Though it still has a long way to go, I'm working on a WebKit-based browser that will be fully native (using Haiku GUI components, multi-process like Chrome) that should run a lot nicer than our older Firefox 2 port (called Bon Echo because it isn't official.)

  • Thanks for all the Haiku coverage, we really appreciate it! A couple small points:

    - As jeffreyparke points out Haiku is using some BeOS code that was released as open source. The rest was either created from scratch by reverse engineering BeOS, or borrowed from other open source projects (NewOS for the original kernel, some GNU code, etc.)

    - Not EVERYTHING is threaded (buttons are usually handled by a window thread), but a lot is :)

    - We use BASH.

    Thanks,

    Ryan Leavengood, Haiku developer

  • Win32 version of Process Controller is total garbage, at least it was just like that couple months ago when I've tested it.

  • I would love to test Haiku + gentoo-alt combination. I haven't been on gentoo-alt for awhile, but it might rapidly increase the configuration and compilation of 3rd party apps.

  • It's Haiku Time at 0:49:20

  • BTW you should also take a look at Syllable OS...

  • The process controller you guys got so excited about is not Haiku specific. It is licensed under GNU, I'm running it on Windows 7 right now. Just google "Process Controller R3.0" and click on the k32productions link.

  • I wish I could default all folder views to mini icons...

  • this is the longest video on youtube!

  • Installing haiku now on my sun virtual box o/ lets see what it does...

  • Haiku R1 Alpha 1 is out! love it! thanks for this amazing review!
