Neal Stephenson, in In the Beginning… Was the Command Line, describes the Be operating system as “an extremely well-thought-out GUI built on a technological framework that is solid.” He’s not the only fan. A speedy, stable system for power-users and hardware tinkerers, Be may yet give Linux a run for its open-source money. Be delivers on its promise of providing high-end or dedicated multimedia hardware for audio or video editing at a consumer-level price. Another c… More >>

BeOS 4.5 with BeOS Bible
Hail Linux, king of the OS.
Rating: 1 / 5
Having left the Linux craze for good (felt that the purity of Linux is taking the path of the ‘Darkside’ much like MS), I decided to embark on a ‘OSpiritual’ journey to find an alternative OS. I found Be a month ago, tried the demo and fell in love with it. Now it sits as my primary OS (with Windows 2000 Beta3 2nd) and it has just been heaven. The only time I can remember when I was this happy is when I got my first PC. This ‘baby-OS’ is definately the Millenium OS.
Now whenever I meet with a ‘Lin-hovah’ withness, I just say ‘Be’, wave my hand like a ‘Bedi’, and leave with smile on my face.

Great piece of work….Apple’s loss is the rest of the worlds gain. BeOs is the best thing to hit the OS market since the conception of GUI. The longest it ever took me to boot was 30 seconds, my average was 17 seconds. That is faster than Linux, Windoze, Macos, OS/2, NT….any of them. THe only thing that Be is lacking in is a port of Diablo and Hotline….other than that I say FULL STEAM AHEAD!

BeOS is a terrific operating system for anyone who is in the multimedia development buissness, or someone who wants a new experience with a very stable and friendly operating system.
Complete with a wonderful graphical user interface (gui) BeOS comes with many multimedia and productivity applications that seperatly would cost quite a bit more than BeOS.
Overall, this is a wonderful and easy to use Operating System and a terrific value.

Where do I start? If your tired of “bloatware” and /or unfulfilled promises – Be is for you. If you would like to use your OS right out the box without descending into configuration H#LL (but have the option to
) – Be is for YOU. If you are a developer and want to bring a ‘real’ OS to the masses – Be is for YOU. If I were Popeye, Be would be spinach and the Be Bible is a recipe book that tells me all the ways I can prepare my spinach to woop up on Brutus! Get it and DARE TO BE DIFFERENT!
