h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I used to love BeOS back in the 90's - I heard a lot of good stuff about Haiku, I must try it some time

...and while you playing with VMware checkout Symphony OS

I heard about Symphony once somewhere and I just looked at the site and the Wikipedia article and there aren't really any 'killer' feature(s) that would make me want to d/l and try it right now. It does have what sound like pretty cool features, though. Nice UI and nice DE, from what I've seen.

I'll probably try it soon enough, though.

There's a distro whose name I can't remember that I was wondering whether you've heard of - it has an in-built shell that changes the traditional Unix directory structure and names - like from bin to Programs and /usr to Users, that sort of thing.

Sounded interesting, but I think that was the only *really* distinguishing feature it had from a lot of other distros.

Bah! VMware must be the most useful yet annoying app I've come across - I can never get it to work!

I'm going to QEMU again.

That's the one!

It's a good thing I'm not driving - I'd probably fall asleep at the wheel...

redbull time?

SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP TIME!

Mwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... <_<

No Sleep 'till Bed Time!

Hey, I posted that at 1.30am!

It's half-past 10 now and I'm a bit more alert to the world...

good - you will have no excuses then for not installing a BSD in your virtual box

Bah! No!

Mind!

Explode!


Argh!

but BSD's are nice

I'm sure they are - it'd have to be if OSX is based on it. Never tried any of 'em, though.

Why not. you don't even need a computer to run a BSD - you can run it on your toaster ... http://www.embeddedarm.com/news/netbsd_toaster.htm

Yeah, I heard about that. That's just... cool. I think what everyone wants, deep down, is to have a warming, toasting, browning server.

Just imagine - where could it end? We could have *real* Haiku poetry (poetic operating systems), malfunctioning wall set-ins (Windows, ha ha), entertaining trenchcoats (Macintosh - please tell me you got that ) and tracing rulers (I'm one of those who pronounces Linux as Line-ix - it's far more comfortable for me to say than Lynn-ix or Lynn-ooks).
