BeOS Successor Keeps the Faith


Posted by technology-blog on 02 Mar

The managing editor of OSNews Thom Holwerda has reportedly reviewed Haiku who is the open source successor of the BE operating system. The editor seems to have only praises for Haiku when he says that the same has been highly successful in replicating user experience for BeOS and also the ‘personality’. It has been able to do so with pronounced short periods for booting. Along with this project, a native GCC 4.3.3 tool chain has also been launched which is really helpful in clearing the path for bringing up-to-date ports for multi-port programs like Firefox and VLC. The entire aim of the technology under consideration is to make the use of Haiku ports easier and more user-friendly.
