The road to BeOS
| September 15th, 2009
So, with all the recent hype about the alpha release of Haiku, the open source BeOS clone. I thought it would be a good idea to test it out. I had heard of BeOS/Haiku before and how good it was and thought it would be the perfect candidate to run on an old laptop we have in the house which doesn’t run Linux at all well.
So I downloaded the Haiku alpha .image and converted it to a .vdi for use in Virtualbox, got networking set up correctly and gave it a go! I was so impressed with it that I decided I would go ahead and install it on this old laptop.
