Thinkpads Forum

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?

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

give me a short list and i'll ADD it to the OS/2 confrence..

it seems not so active since the flamewarriors have been banned..

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.

Bob

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.
More information can be found at:

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.
