does this have web flash support : or even gimp : winehq ?

[goochbuntu]

@goochbuntu or does this have html 5 support just wondering lots left out

[llelectronics]

@goochbuntu html5 support is rudimentary right now, so now html5 video support yet.

[llelectronics]

@goochbuntu It is not linux, so no flash, gimp or wine support

I remember BeOS had really good support for audio applications (very low latency). What's the current state of Haiku's audio system? 

[llelectronics]

@tb303pOsiTiv3 Latency is still low and Cortex (the audio connection kit basically) is still available.

Sound support is provided by native drivers and the ported over OSS (OpenSound Server)

BeOS was definitely cool and I'm happy to see it's still being developed in the open source community. Can't wait to try out Haiku.

Though I must admit the name and the little leaves on the logo are just....completely gay. Why couldn't they have named it SKULLCRUSHER OS or something.

Come on people!

@llelectronics i didnt know flash was only for linux what do windows users use to watch youtube on the internet. also i thought gimp was for windows mac and linux. and wine is not just for linux wine is also made to work on mac i dont know if you heard of crossover a wine project

This is pretty cool. I tried Haiku ages ago and I liked the general look and feel of it. I think they should really focus on integrating Haiku with the web. That's the direction that computers are taking anyhow.

@llelectronics I see. Thank you for response.
