BeOS anyone + Dualboot 95(fully patched) or 98?

[Tommythecat88]

Hello,


I must admit that BeOS looks very nice. Anyone else a BeOS user or software developer? I was thinking bout getting Win2K but I'm just gonna get me BeOS for 70 dollars. I figure that if I need any games , I'll dual boot between it and 95.

Speaking of that? 98 or 95 patched up for a dualboot. I have a copy of Redhat Linux 6.1 Lieing around too. I installed it once on ana old P-60 and didn't like it to much because it fuxed the video driver up. I really dislike dual booting so I was wondering how good windoze emulation is on Linux.

Everyone who first used Unix in the 70's just hated it. I mean it was real hard to use and do anything on it. Now everythings changed since they laid a gui on top of it. I mean its stable as hell , thats just about the only advantage to it besides open source stuff. Comments? Suggestions?


System I'm throwing the OS on:

Abit KT7-RAID
Duron 650
IBM 15 Gig 75GXP
128-256 megs of ram (haven't decided)

other stuff I'm still thinkin about.

Thanks dudes,


Anthony

BeOS is totally beautiful. You can install the PE edition on its own parition if you want pretty easily too. The only reason to buy the Pro edition is for a few extras like licensed MP3 encoders or to support Be. I am planning to wait until BONE and the OGl subsystem rewrite are released before I do that because before then its not worth the extra money to me even tho I love the system. Plus I bought 4.5 just before 5 came out so I feel a bit screwed.
