\"\"<\/a>I was trying out Haiku, a updated and maintained version of BeOS. The interface is a neat but takes getting used to as it very much different than windows or any flavor of linux. The icons are cute and performance seems well even though I was running it in a virtual environment. It uses a unix like command shell, so it pretty easy to use the command line if you need to use it. It does come with a web browser called Net Positive, which seems to be a fork of Safari. However, it is a old version and does not support HTML5, flash is also non existent. I believe somewhere someone might have ported gnash to it for flash support but I do not have the time to hunt down what people have done to support modern technology and media. I found a port of a mozilla based browser but it was based on version 2, there is another but requires installation of QT, thus killing this as a novel experiment of a alternate OS I may experiment on a netbook as it is so greatly inferior to most modern operating systems (and I am not about to go and compiler firefox 4 for it).<\/p>\n

It would make a great alternative OS for experimentation but its usability factors prevent it from being a good alternative if you want a light weight alternative to current operating systems. The file navigation system needs to be improved as well. A more robust file manager would help rather than a bunch of small windows each time you navigate to a particular folder on the system.<\/p>\n

If this OS is not modernized to support out of box, current technology (HTML5), etc. Then BeOS is really dead. And the project that spawned this is doing not as a alternative OS but just a hobbyist toy. After experiencing it, I would keep it in a virtual environment. It lacks too much to be installed as a live system. I cannot recommend it.<\/p>\n
