An 'Other' Section in the OS section of the Forum?

#1 Post by BigWarpGuy » Thu Jul 21, 2005 10:08 am

Since there are a variety of os's that could run on an IBM compatible platform, why not have a section labeled 'other' in the operating systems of the forum?

Alternative OS's

I have listed some operating systems (a couple are not but most are) that can be used on an IBM compatible computer.

Good morning,

Big Warp Guy, the BEOS is still around but the be.com link is a no go for right now. I think your best bet is to follow bebits.com, and grab it here http://www.bebits.com/app/2680

Interesting list of OS.

BeOS is gone but the continuation of it is known as Zeta http://www.yellowtab.com . Zeta is based on the unreleased Version 6 of BeOS known as "Dano". I have the latest release of Zeta (R1) and it does not work well on a T23.
The Haiku project is a complete rebuild of BeOS being done as open source http://haiku-os.org/learn.php .
www.bebits.com is still the source for software.

The Short List.

#6 Post by BigWarpGuy » Fri Jul 22, 2005 10:41 am

The Short list would be to add a DOS section and an Other OS section to the operating system section. One could change OS/2 to OS/2-eCS to reflect the direction OS/2 has become.

Thanks for the information. I will try to update my pcos page accordingly.
