BeOS question

I installed it last night and I'm using a bootdisk to start it (Win2k otherwise on my box). So far, not much to do but surf, play MP3s and generally good around with this very pretty OS. One thing I don't like much is Netpositive. Is there a link to the 3.0 trees somewhere? The non java-script support isn't really cool right now and I have Bezilla installed (I hate Netscape, but it won't timebomb like Opera), but I want Netpositive (quite fast with the default one installed).

Next step is to find out how to mount NFS shares from a NT server (I think Betips.net had that already, but I'll look into it). I'm running Be on my 1Ghz Athlon and its quite nice, but how good is the SMP? I also have a dual P3-550 and would like to know how well Be does handle the second processor and would it be worth using over the faster CPU.

All in all, I like Be, but it won't play my games, so I'm still stuck with Win2k. I will leave this on a second machine (is the Voodoo5 supported?) while my gaming machine is still Win2k.

Yes BeOS loves SMP and the voodoo series of card was the best supported. Not absolutly sure of the 5 though.
