Haiku goes Alpha 1!

I have always been a huge fan of BeOS since around 1999-2000. Simple, fast, and for its day very impressive. When the company went under, they took most of the code with them. A group started redeveloping the OS from the ground up in 2001. Last year, the OS because self hosting, which means it can compile new versions of itself. That in an of itself was a huge milestone. Well, this Sept the OS hit Alpha 1. This month, they released the “installer”, something that up until now meant you could only try Haiku within a premade VM. Well, I just burned my disc and started an install on my old Dell laptop. I have a huge grin on my face and cannot wait for it to finish.
Check it out here!
I’ll be sure to post some new info soon!

OK, I just got it booting finally, but I had to following the directions here to get it to boot properly. OMG, I am in BeOS heaven…

I’ve been looking forward to try this out for several years. BeOS is one of those gems that didn’t deserve it’s cruel fate. Make sure to put a review up after you’ve had a few days with it!
